Major Jobs and Careers Available in Alabama

Alabama has just announced two huge contracts that will bring hundreds of new jobs to our state. European jet manufacturer, Airbus, will build a $600 million facility in Mobile, AL and Commercial Jet, from Miami, will invest $12 million to open a new facility in Dothan, AL. As a spin off from this there will also be $2.5 million Aviation Training Center in Fairhope, AL to train workers. This will open up thousands of new jobs in Alabama, from the construction phase to staffing the facilities.
 
This is very exciting for the growth of our state and the growth of opportunities for our citizens. Think of the larger picture. More money and people in an area means more money to spend in the local economy from the convenient store to restaurants, from florists to housing.
 
It sounds like this great job opportunity is so far in the future, right? Well, not so much. . I have been doing some research and have great news.  There are OPEN JOBS ALL OVER ALABAMA RIGHT NOW!!!! Here are your links to apply for a position in Alabama’s new Aviation Industry: http://www.commercialjet.com/employment.html  and http://www.aidt.edu/jobs 
 
Benefits include: Benefits Summary: • Medical insurance program • Dental insurance program • Prescription drug program • 401K tax-saver program • Flexible work schedule • Company Paid Life Insurance • Long Term Disability Insurance • Paid holidays • Paid vacations • Paid sick leave • License premiums • Refer a friend for $$$ • Direct deposit available.
 
Here are some of the areas where work is available: Clanton, Tuscaloosa, Mobile, Gadsden, Selma, Bridgeport, Tanner, Dothan, Cherokee, Sunny South and Montgomery.
 
Check the site for more areas. One important note to make: Some of the windows close on accepting application in May, others run through the end of the year. You’ll just have to take a look at the list. This is a site that you will want to bookmark and check regularly as some positions only have a 30 day window to get your application in.
 
The positions run the full gamut. They need everything from pipe fitters to accountants, from maintenance workers to translators, administrative assistants, store clerks, HR, and avionic supervisors.    
 
I hope I have been of help to you or someone you know. With the high unemployment we have had for the past several years, please share this with all your friends. They may not be the one looking but may have a friend or family member that is looking.
