Kentucky Lake Economic Development is reminding residents that Benton Wood Products, a subsidiary of Independent Stave Company, has scheduled a hiring event from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at the manufacturer’s facility located at 4437 Mayfield Highway in Benton.
The company will be recruiting their second group of production workers for their newly built manufacturing facility. Recruitment for other positions, including additional production workers, will occur at a later time, as the facility moves toward full production.
“We have hired our first phase of employees so that this second group will round out our production line,” said Mark Grundy, Retention Specialist. “We’re looking for responsible people who are eager to be a part of our company and rich manufacturing history.”
All job-seekers are invited to attend. However, those with a minimum of three years of manufacturing or construction experience are preferred. Each position will earn a base training wage of $13.50 an hour.
“I am glad that Benton Wood Products are ready to begin production,” said Josh Tubbs, Director for the Kentucky Lake Economic Development. “They are an excellent company, and they are going to be great company for Marshall County. I encourage anyone who is looking for employment to attend this event.”
