Key Responsibilities
are outlined above in this job description text. Our next job candidate must be able to accomplish each task listed without any help from other personnel, thus an individual with some useful work-life balance will prefer not to work long hours for us over time when things go wrong. Hence we shall be working more than normal hours at times as well by taking turns to cover those particular odd days when duty calls - i.e., they have no fixed 'normal' schedule during the year because whatever they do cannot be anticipated easily nor easily predicted.
