WAUKESHA, Wis., June 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Generac Power
Systems, a world leader in backup power and engine-powered
products, is hiring for nearly 300 positions at six of their
Wisconsin locations this month.
The new roles are being added as the company works to meet consumer
demand for Generac products. This demand continues to grow as the
need for backup power gets stronger and the aging power grid
fails.
The open positions include roles in manufacturing, welding,
warehouse and assembly. Applicants have flexibility when it comes
to choosing shifts, as first, second and third shift positions are
needed. Generac also recently instituted a new program specifically
for these positions that offers regular wage increases during the
first two years of the employees' tenure, in addition to continuing
to offer generous and comprehensive benefits to meet the needs of a
changing workforce.
"We're committed to being an employer of choice for people
looking for a fulfilling career in manufacturing," said
Rhonda Matschke, executive vice
president of global human resources, Generac. "We are committed to
Wisconsin and are investing
heavily in our people with competitive wages and great benefits to
ensure we have the strong workforce it takes to build quality
products."
To jumpstart recruitment for these positions, hiring events will
be held from June 12 to June 14 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with interviews onsite at
the Generac facilities in Berlin,
Oshkosh, Whitewater, Jefferson, Eagle and Waukesha. Applicants should arrive in the
appropriate time window and be prepared to answer general questions
about their education and experience. A resume is good to have on
hand, but not necessary.
Generac also holds an open walk-in interview program every
Wednesday at each of its facilities between
9 a.m. and 4 p.m. To learn more about the hiring events,
