A Maryville plant is looking to fill hundreds of jobs in its production lines.
The hiring push is part of seasonal hiring the company does at this time each year, and is also partly due to a fire earlier this week at the Newell Brands plant in Mexicali, which is the capital city of Baja California.
"As a result of the incident and to ensure product delivery stays on schedule, there will be some elevated levels of production in Maryville for the time being," Newell Brands spokesperson Michael Sinatra told 10News. He said they don't anticipate any disruption in supply.
Spokesperson Michael Sinatra said the company does a similar hiring push at this time every year, though, to prepare for the peak back to school season.
Interested applicants can apply by going to Lstaff.com and clicking on the 'Apply Now' button at the top of the homepage. As soon as an application is submitted, recruiters will reach out to follow-up.
The available positions cover a variety of jobs including forklift, production, packing, and assembly line, according to Rollins.
