During the 3-year apprenticeship period, there will be periodic pay raises based on reaching established benchmarks and job performance. Successful graduates of the program will be offered Operator positions with MES.
Some MES facilities provide services 365 days a year, which might mean that you could be required to work in varying weather conditions, on weekends and holidays, or be called to work during emergency situations.

This position will be open until filled.
The Operator-In-Training (OIT) position is eligible for on-spot, contingent offers. Candidates who apply after an on-spot offer has been extended (including internal candidates) will not be considered unless the candidate who receives the on-spot, contingent offer does not complete the process to become an MES employee.
