Commensurate with experience

Employees typically work in an office environment and are protected from weather conditions or contaminants, but not necessarily from occasional temperature changes. However, in certain instances, employees may work outdoors and may not be protected from weather conditions. Employees could be exposed to hazardous chemicals. Employees nearly continuously sit and often use repetitive hand motions (such as typing). Bending and stooping are occasionally required. Employees listen, hear, and talk nearly continuously.
