Why Work Here?

Work Environment

Work takes place in local distribution facilities, with primary locations including Greensburg, Oil City, Neville, and Altoona. The role involves working around material handling equipment, conveyor systems, motor controls, PLC-controlled machinery, and industrial three-phase power systems in an active warehouse and sort environment.
