It is essential that anyone joining us strongly connects with this need to be Responsive. There are no roles in the company that are not impacted by this aspect of "the work". This is an inescapable reality. We are a 24 hour response Company with fire and flood damage events occurring at any time and can impact us outside 'normal' working hours of 9-5.
