Due to the nature of our work, pre-employment screening—including a criminal background check, drug screening, and for certain roles, a motor vehicle record review—is required after a conditional offer of employment. Screening results are evaluated based on factors such as the nature and severity of an offense, time passed, relevance to the position, patterns of repeated offenses, and driving history for roles requiring vehicle operation.
