Important Note About Schedule/Travel

This is a field service role with very frequent travel (50-75%), most of which is in a company van that the Technician keeps at home.

The work hours in this full-time role will include some weekend days, and shifts can vary between morning, afternoon, and night. A high degree of flexibility is required to accommodate our Customer needs.

This role requires daily travel by driving a company vehicle. If offered this position, STERIS will run a 7 year driving record check, as part of our onboarding process. An acceptable driving record generally means a driver has a very limited number of moving violations, accidents, or driving-related convictions.
