TRAVEL INFO
This role requires travel at some degree but this is very much based on projects/clients and team makeup. If you greatly desire travel, the need is there, and you will be scheduled at 50% - 26 full weeks - Monday through Friday. Because this is undesirable to many the target is at least 18 weeks - a 35% requirement. However, based on client and project needs there can be busier times which might average 2-3 weeks a month, but during the slower times it would be closer to 1 week a month. Travel amounts in a week do vary as well. It can often be the full week, Monday through Friday, but it can be just for a night or two in that week. To assist with work/life balance no travel is planned over the weekends and you will fly home each weekend. To be considered for this role, you should expect travel somewhere between 18 and 26 weeks a year and 95% of the travel is "planned," meaning you will know in advance when and where you will be going. Some of the travel will include trips to the corporate office in WI.
