100% onsite in WDM offices<br>Applicants must be flexable to work occasional Tuesday - Saturday work week as needed. With all the moving pieces for this project and the need to have desks with equipment ready to be set on Monday mornings, there could be the occasional scheduled week where the days for that week will be shifted to include a Saturday with a week's minimum notice. The ideal candidate will need to be flexible when possible. We will try to limit this as much as possible, but cannot predict the frequency.
