The ability to travel is preferred and may provide additional opportunities for continued employment, but nationwide travel is not required for every position.

Project lengths vary. Some assignments may last only a few weeks, while others may continue for several months or longer.

When a technician travels to an assigned project located more than 1.5 hours from home, VEPO provides company-paid housing.

* Reliable personal vehicle available for work use

* Ability to work independently and manage an assigned route

* Ability to perform physically demanding work

* Reliable attendance and strong work ethic
