Several new jobs are now available related to the construction of Donley County’s first wind farm, and those seeking such employment are encouraged to apply this week.
Blattner Energy will hold a job fair this Thursday, November 19, in Pampa for general laborers as well as heavy equipment operators interested in working on the 112-turbine project. The fair will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Pampa Chamber of Commerce office at 200 N. Ballard.
Interested workers who are unable to attend the job fair are encouraged to complete an online application at blattnerenergy.com or call 1-888-356-2307 to request an application.
Dallas Security & Alarm is also looking for employees to provide security for the project during construction. Four to five security officers are needed, and that work is expected to last about seven months. Potential security officers must have a clear criminal background; must work nights, holidays, and weekends; must have a valid driver’s license; and must be at least 23 years old.
Dallas Security & Alarm is willing to train security officers, and an operations manager is planning on conducting interviews Friday, November 20, and Saturday, November 21. Those interested should call 469-458-2033 or email mike@dallassecurityalarm.com.
The Salt Fork I Wind Farm will consist of 112 two-Megawatt turbines near Interstate 40 in northwestern Donley and southwestern Gray counties. Ninety-five of the turbines will be in Donley County, and the project is expected to be completed by the end of 2016.
