CPULD is looking for worker(s) to conduct durability simulations using an industrial forklift. The position will require following a predefined set of handling steps using a forklift. It requires the ability to take photographs and enter and upload data on an iPad. These simulations often will require work in an unconditioned space and/or the running of tests outside. This particular position is for the 2021 summer - starting mid-May 2021 and lasting through mid-August 2021. There is the possibility of this position lasting longer if the students hired wish to work throughout the fall semester. We will provide all necessary training and the pay rate is $15.00 per hour.
