阿省急需9000人去建房!春季马上要开工,急缺人!



阿省中部的Fort McMurray麦克默里堡,大家都知道去年那场臭名昭著的山林大火毁了N多房子。


马上这个春天,天气变暖春暖花开,麦堡大规模重建工作就要开始了!


然鹅! Wood Buffalo经济发展委员会却告知媒体说,麦堡重建蓄势待发,当前一共有2400栋房屋等待开工,但目前急缺人工!预估2017年大约需要招9000人才能填补人才空缺!


急缺9000人!妈呀,不知道我们卡城藏龙卧虎,有很多才华横溢的小伙伴么?


麦堡招聘会,40家公司摆摊要人!


在上周五麦堡为了招人还专门举办了一场招聘会。YMMHome Show and Job Fair,招聘会上有超过40家建筑公司在那里摆摊招人,有超过1000人涌进了会场。


麦堡商业委员会的执行总监Alexis Foster说,之前就有很多企业会员来抱怨招不到人。于是就联合经济发展委员会一起组织了这场招聘会,希望通过这场招聘会,能够将职工和急需人才的建筑商们联系起来。


现场一家做通风系统的公司Fort McMurray Filter Shop 接受采访时说,他们公司当前急需6名工人来填补空缺。之前在麦堡大火后公司流失了不少人才,现在马上春季开工来临,必须要填补这一空缺。


重建规模$36亿!


去年的那场大火夷平了整个麦堡,当前需要重建至少2400套房屋!资金规模超过36亿加币!而水牛城市政当前已经颁发了470个建筑许可,马上这个4月份既可以开工干起!


Wood Buffalo经济发展委员会说,这么大规模的建筑开工,将至少需要9000人来填补岗位空缺!


不仅是工人,还包括各种承包商,例如装修,通风过滤,电气,管道,园艺等方面,通通需要人!


听说,因为太缺人了,居然还有大老远闻风从安大略省赶来的Builder!


安大略省的都来了,我们阿省的小伙伴们肥水岂能流外人田呀,迅速走起!
