Description: |
A “Floater” is a person that may or may not have an assigned “home location.” Floaters travel on a regular basis to locations that need additional support during periods of increased production, labor shortages, vacation coverage, etc. Additionally, floaters are relied on heavily during the start-up process of new operations. In this scenario, the floaters will perform the work at the new operation while people are being hired. Once the new hires are in place, floaters will assist with training and orientation. Usually, the floater will have advance notice that their services are required at a specific location; however, there will be instances when they may have to leave on very short notice in an emergency situation. Extensive travel is required for extended periods of time.
