To perform the job successfully, the individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. Other duties may be assigned.
The composites season is short: RCL values its composite techs and will utilize our desiring talent on non-composites jobs in the off season, if the employee would rather keep working. We prefer not to bench our talent; however, off-season work is NOT required: if the employee enjoys a few months off in the winter, they can take advantage of the traditional down time in the industry.
Compensation ranging from $35- $45 per hour.
