Working Conditions and Physical Requirements
Work is performed in an office setting with minimal exposure to health or safety hazards. Substantial time is spent working on a computer. This role generally requires mobility, written and verbal communication, and hearing and visual capabilities. However, reasonable accommodations, including assistive technology, may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform such requirements.
RCs Have a Career Pathway at IMSA
We want colleagues to feel like they have direction and a promising future, and it’s up to us to give them that with the right career path. Career pathing doesn’t give you just a job but a future to focus on. The skills you develop as an RC will help prepare you for jobs you can have at IMSA further down the path.
