Vestas hiring in Brighton, US - take solidarity actions?
23.09.2009 04:27
Vestas Nacelles America Inc. is recruiting workers for its planned Brighton wind-power factory and will hold a career fair Thursday.
Vestas announced last year it will build a $290 million plant in Brighton for assembling wind-turbine nacelles and making blades. The facility is expected to be in operation by next year.
The blade factory will employ about 650 people and the nacelle plant will have about 700 employees, Vestas has said.
The plant is a unit of Danish wind-power giant Vestas Wind Systems A/S, which also has plants in Windsor and Pueblo.
Vestas, working with SOS Staffing, said late Monday it is recruiting an unspecified number of full-time production and warehouse positions for the Brighton plant.
It will hold a "Career and Information Forum" on Thursday, Sept. 24, at the Adams County Fairgrounds, 9755 Henderson Road, Brighton. Three sessions will be held in the Waymire Building (The Dome) at the fairgrounds: 8-10 a.m., noon-2 p.m. and 6-8 p.m.
Vestas representatives will be at the event all day to answer questions and provide information.
Those interested should visit www.sosstaffing.com/vestas to submit a resume or application in advance. Email
