SCHEDULE

Senior level positions tend to be mostly office based, working a standard Mon – Fri, 40 hrs weekly, 8 hrs daily working schedule. Although these positions tend to be more office based, there could be some minimal opportunity to still do some field travel (dependent upon specific hiring location).

Triton promotes and encourages a collaborative working team culture; hence a hybrid work schedule is preferred (remote and coming into the office). However, there could be potential to make the schedule more flexible, including having a more remote working schedule.
