GSE Technician positions are unionized, which requires Employees to bid for work schedules and vacation time with shift trade opportunities available with fellow Employees. A combination of factors, including the department, contract, and/or Company seniority, determines the bid process. You'll learn how and when to bid and more about shift trade opportunities during training. 

Shifts could include early mornings, late nights, weekends, holidays, and mandatory overtime.

They also won’t be required to work four or more hours of a mandatory overtime assignment if they’ve worked 12 or more consecutive days.
