The Procter & Gamble (P&G) Alexandria Manufacturing plant is hosting a job fair, known as the P&G Alexandria WOW Community Event, on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Randolph Riverfront Center. The event aims to engage with the community and attract prospective candidates to work at the plant. Kevin Hood, P&G’s external relations senior manager, emphasizes the importance of community involvement and the opportunity for potential employees to meet the local plant team.
The event promises to be a fun-filled experience for families, with Zydeco music, a dinosaur experience, balloon artists, face painters, and a variety of food options, including cotton candy, jambalaya, pasta, hamburgers, and hot dogs. The plant, which produces laundry products distributed nationwide, is seeking to hire 100 skilled mechanical and electrical technicians to support the operation and maintenance of production equipment.
According to Hood, the ideal candidates will have experience or skills acquired through community or technical colleges, certifications, or relevant work experience. While qualified candidates will not be hired on the spot, they will have the opportunity to discuss pay, benefits, and responsibilities with the plant team. The hiring process will involve online applications, assessments, and interviews, with the goal of making job offers to suitable candidates over the next year.
The P&G Alexandria plant is committed to investing in the local community and providing employment opportunities for skilled professionals.
