Michigan Works! is helping fill the many jobs available in the eastern U.P. to help build the new Soo Locks.
Corinna Peterson, the marketing and communications manager for MiWorks!, says they’re searching for hard workers who want to work and live in the Upper Peninsula. MiWorks! is even looking to recruit employees from out of state, as there are many jobs to fill. She says the hope is that people will want to stay in the U.P. and contribute to the economy.
There are openings for Safety & Occupational Health Specialists, Engineering Technicians (Civil), Construction Support Assistants, Construction Representatives, Civil Engineers, and Project Schedulers.
Peterson says these jobs are temporary, but will last for at least a couple of years.
You can apply by emailing soolocks@isupward.org or you can find more information on MiWorks! website here.
