Want a Job in the Wind Energy Biz? Vestas Has 500

To go along with the 600 jobs that they've added in Windsor, Colorado, and the 1,300 jobs they will create down the road in Brighton, the Danish-owned wind turbine manufacturer, Vestas, is looking to fill 500 vacancies at their new Pueblo, Colorado tower manufacturing plant.

On March 14, Vestas will hold a job fair at the Pueblo Convention Center. Session times are: 9 to 11 a.m., noon to 2 p.m., 3 to 5 p.m. and 6 to 8 p.m.

Vestas is currently accepting applications for both salaried and hourly positions at the Pueblo plant. The plant will not open this summer with a staff of 125, adding 40-45 new employees per month, until they reach 500.

The Pueblo facility will complete Vestas' current plans for a regional manufacturing hub along Colorado's Front Range.

    Hey.
    Finally the american economic has found ways to establish alternative energy sources. As we know, we humans are in need of distinguishing ourselves in innovations concerning techologies which are not based on burning fossil fuels that polute the earth’s atmosphere and so the entire planet.
    Additionally, in the case of Vestas offering jobs, it will help the american (and the worlds) economy. So why nuclear power plants if you can have clean energy??

    I filled out an application a couple weeks ago I’m just trying to follow up on it.I am most interested in working at the plant and maybe working my way into the assiociates degree.It would be my pleasure to start working towards the survival of our species.Im very motivated in things such as “THE VENUS PROJECT”and clean energy so I hope to hear back from you,if not thankyou for taking a step in the right direction.
