Olymel Holding Job Fair this Month

Cornwall, Ontario – Olymel is looking to fill dozens of positions at its bacon and ham processing plant in Cornwall.

“We are looking to fill 25 new positions as well as 40 summer student positions,” says Heather Jiujias, Human Resources Manager. “Demand is high for our products, which means we need more workers.”

The company will be holding a Job Fair on Februrary 27 at Job Zone d’emploi at 144 Pitt Street.

Job applicants will receive an interview on the spot if they attend with their resume, 2 pieces of photo ID and employment references.

The job fair will take place from 10am to 4pm.

There are new openings in production, including day and evening shifts.

New employees are offered on-site training in the areas of equipment operation, production practices, and health & safety.  Wages and benefits are competitive for the region, with a number of incentive programs that can increase earnings.

“Although the immediate need is for production workers, Olymel is always looking to add technical expertise to its workforce,” says Heather Jiujias, Human Resources Manager.  “We are happy to speak to anybody who is looking to work in a state of the art food processing facility. Our maintenance team includes operating engineers, refrigeration technicians, electricians, electromechanical technicians, millwrights, welders, machinists and others”

In 2013, Olymel added a continuous smokehouse and other technologies in a 70,000 sq.ft. expansion to its facility, which is located in the Cornwall Business Park. Employment has steadily grown since then.  Once the recruitment period is completed, the Cornwall plant will employ more than 400 people.
