Work Environment/Time Worked:
Work Environment

Approximately 60% of time is spent in office or typical business atmosphere - meetings, project review, etc.

About 40% of time is on the factory floor (or around physical facilities) and the remaining time is spent in the machine shop (boiler room/parts area).

Major responsibilities fall in manufacturing environment necessitating significant amount of time standing, walking, stooping on a concrete floor.

Periodically, job demands necessitate climbing on (under, over, etc.) equipment or around facility (roof, boiler room, carbon black distribution system, etc.), where the individual may get excessively dirty and/or be exposed to extreme environmental temperatures.

Time Worked/


Hours Worked:
Core hours are 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m hours/week. These core hours are necessary to interface with shift and daylight personnel. The operation runs 24 hours/day and sometimes on weekends. This necessitates regular weekend project/repair work to avoid interference with manufacturing.

Given the job requirements and above demands, the incumbent will be expected to occasionally work on weekends and holidays and be in the facility during "off-hours" for several hours when emergency conditions arise.

Days Worked:
Monday - Friday

Some additional weekends and holidays are required as projects and production demands dictate. Will not normally be allowed to use vacation time in conjunction with holiday, because of typical project scheduling.


Shifts Worked:
Daylight


Comments:
Routine work beyond 40 hour week is necessary, normally about hours per week. Must be on call to come into the plant when emergencies dictate or personnel needs technical expertise. The position often places very tight time and cost constraints on activities, creating potentially stressful situations.

Will be required to perform other duties as requested, directed, or assigned.
