  • Coordinate and initiate actions necessary to implement decisions. 
  • Understand and adhere to the established policies, rules, and regulations of both Company, State and Federal. 
  • Must handle confidential material and information in a professional manner.  
  • Must understand, interpret, and implement the collective bargaining agreement and work collaboratively in a union environment with a proven record to maintain partnerships in a Union environment. 
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

For field work, must be able to withstand exposure to weather, dust, engine fumes and tolerate noise levels ranging from moderate to noisy.
  • May be required to lift, push, or move up to 25 lbs. Will need to be able to reach with hands and arms and finger, handle or feel.
