Will consider fully remote candidates as well. Expectation is that training will be 100% remote. LOCAL Cedar Rapids candidates will pick up equipment from NRTC the Friday before the project starts. All other ISP techs will have equipment shipped out to them directly. Training will start on Monday 10/7. 5 weeks training – Missing more than 1 day can lead to a drop in the program. (internally, will review on a case by case basis) First 30 days on the floor – first out for any reason will lead to a final warning with or without a doctor’s note. Providing a note will count as one instance instead of multiple days of absence. (consider this one freebie in the first 30 days) Planned days off, in advance, would need approval. Second time out while on a warning can lead to a drop. (unless there is an extenuating circumstance that can be explained and documented.) Willing to consider on a case by case basis. NCNS will most likely be a drop and is not tolerated due to lack of communication and following policy After 30 days we will start to measure attendance compliance. This score can not reach below 92.5% meaning you must be at work 92Shifts will be a mixture of first and second shift hours. All schedules after training require working on either a Saturday or a Sunday or both Sat/Sun with two days off back to back during the week. The majority of the day schedules in this group work both Sat & Sun so be sure to confirm candidates are open to that. I will align candidates to a specific shift during the interview/G3 if the conversation goes well. The Tier II qualifications would be to have one of the following; candidates who meet one of the criteria below can be started at $15.50/hr.
