When not traveling or supporting an event, you will work at the facility assisting with the daily operations of the shop.

This position does not have a consistent or set schedule. Work hours and assignments will vary based on business needs, the amount of work available, and upcoming events. Employees are guaranteed a minimum of 40 hours per week, but the days and times worked may vary and can include evenings, weekends, and after-hours support.
