TRAVEL:
These full-time positions will be based out of SEL’s field office in Lewis Center, Ohio. Because the company has numerous customers nationwide, some travel is required, as the incumbent will occasionally and on a short-term basis be deployed to various customer sites. Candidates must therefore be willing to travel to various unanticipated locations throughout the United States on an ongoing basis. However, the position requires regular on-site work at the Lewis Center field office and does not permit remote work or work-from-home arrangements, notwithstanding any required business travel to customer sites.
