Emergency Phone Rotation
Participation in the emergency phone rotation is required as part of this subcontractor opportunity. The emergency phone is shared with other technicians and generally works out to approximately 2 weeks on rotation every 4 weeks, depending on scheduling.

We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work, can handle a variety of maintenance calls, and is ready to be part of a consistent monthly workload.
