  • $22.00 - $27.00 per hour based on experience, paid weekly through payroll

  • Part-time schedule of about 15 to 25 hours per week, weekdays, and may include Saturdays

  • Steady, local work - no long hauls or overnight travel
  • A small-team culture where your contributions are noticed
  • Room to grow as the company grows
