  • Compensation: This is a salaried exempt position with a pay range from $73,894 - $110,840 per year. Starting pay will be based on qualifications and experience.
  • Location: This role is based at the Deublin Company facility in Waukegan, IL. The role will be onsite five days per week, with the opportunity to transition to hybrid (one to two days remote per week), based on performance following a 90-day introductory period.
