Work Environment

This role is based primarily in an office setting with periodic visits to warehouse and mine site locations, which may involve outdoor weather, dust, noise, and moving equipment. Use of PPE is required during site visits, and there is potential for exposure to low-level radiation consistent with a uranium mining environment.
