  • Combination of office and field-based work throughout Lancaster County.
  • Regular travel within the assigned territory.
  • Early morning hours are a routine part of the position to ensure delivery deadlines and operational success.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds as needed.
  • Use of standard office equipment, computers, and related technology.
