The work environment:

As a Program Manager, your work is frequently conducted in an office setting; sitting at a desk utilizing a computer.  Occasionally time is spent on customer sites where the conditions can vary by site and location.  You may be exposed to extreme temperatures, dry, wet, loud or dusty conditions; although this is rare.  Traveling to customer sites requires driving, standing, and walking.  You will also need to frequently communicate with customers and co-workers and must be able to exchange accurate information in these situations.

The travel required for this position can be up to 25% of the time and is typically regional.

Come join a company that is committed to going further to understand what is needed and engineer what is possible.
