• Formal technical education or an engineering degree is not required. Training is available for the right candidate.

Scheduling & Work Locations

Part Time: May be assigned primarily to either Lake Barrington or Waukesha. Full Time: May work at both locations and must be willing to travel between them as operational needs require. Exact scheduling and travel expectations will be discussed during hiring.
