Benefits include:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Retirement savings program
• Paid time off (sick, holiday, vacation)
• And more

• Associate's degree or certification in a related industrial or technical field
• Strong electrical/mechanical aptitude
• Military experience welcomed and valued
• Willingness to relocate after training to manage your own facility within the first 3 years of the program

• Electrical engineering coursework
• Energy conservation practices specific to our facilities
• Industrial laundry equipment: ironers, folders, press equipment, washers/extractors, tumblers, and towel folders
