• Process optimization and troubleshooting experience

Schedule and Location

• Approximately three onsite days per week in Winter Park
• Approximately one onsite day per week near Rollinsville/Tolland
• One remote workday per week
• Primarily daytime hours
• Flexible five‑day schedule, with the option to work weekend days when needed
• Approximately 10% travel
• Candidates should live within reasonable commuting distance of the facilities or be willing to relocate
