This person will be helping with the prep work for remote plant sites that are going through a "Cut". The Project Coordinator involvement within the actual Cuts will be limited and remote from MN. But, because some of the production Plants can't be shut down over normal Mon-Friday business hours, the Coordinator may find themselves working odd hours or over the weekend. Their involvement could be as little as 15 minutes or as much as 4 hours. If Cuts are taking place during non-core business hours, working remotely during these Cuts will be supported as well as adjusting the rest of the week's working hours to off-set the adjusted schedule. All Cuts are schedule weeks/ months in advance. Feel free to give me a call for more clarification if needed.
