Tyson Foods to Create 400 Jobs at Caseyville Prepared Foods Plant
January 11 2023 - 6:55AM
Tyson Foods has expanded its workforce projections for its
Caseyville Prepared Foods facility, creating approximately 400 new
team member positions to meet the growing demand for Hillshire
Farm® and Jimmy Dean® grab-n-go snacking and breakfast items. This
boost in facility team members is a result of the $180 million
expansion currently in development. Seven state of the art
production lines and 270,000 square feet will be added to the
existing Caseyville facility to increase automated warehousing and
robotics.
“Since our facility’s operations began in 2005, Tyson Foods has
become a pillar of our community, contributing to our city’s
economic growth and giving back to the residents of Caseyville
through community outreach,” said Christopher Rogers, the Tyson
Foods Caseyville Plant Manager. “This expansion will allow us to
welcome hundreds of new team members to Tyson Foods, while being
better equipped to serve the community we call home.”
The facility expansion officially broke ground in August 2022
and is expected to be complete in late 2024.
The Caseyville facility plans to hire for positions across the
maintenance, Food Safety Quality Assurance (FSQA), warehousing,
production, and management departments. About 250 of these team
members are expected to start work across four new production lines
by September 2023, while 150 are expected to begin work across
three new production lines by the project’s completion.
The Caseyville facility currently employs more than 300 team
members and paid more than $16 million in wages during its 2021
fiscal year. The expansion project will bring the total team member
count to 750 by September of 2024. This builds on a significant
economic impact generated across Tyson Foods four plants in the
state of Illinois. Interested applicants are encouraged to
