Schedule

• Part-time (approximately 8–10 hours per week) during the training period.
• Office hours expected to expand from approximately 8 hours to 16–20 hours per week as operational capacity grows.
• Expected transition to full-time beginning December 28, 2026, based on performance and business needs.

Compensation Starting compensation is $16.00 per hour, plus performance-based incentives. Opportunities for pay increases and advancement are based on demonstrated reliability, training progress, performance, and expanded responsibilities.
