HAZARD, Ky. — Eastern Kentuckians interested in careers in the nuclear and energy industries will have an opportunity to meet with WECTEC next month.

WECTEC Staffing Services, a subsidiary of Westinghouse Electric Company, is partnering with SOAR for a regional hiring event Oct. 7 in Hazard.

The company is recruiting for positions including instrumentation and controls technicians, valve technicians, field machinists, radiation protection technicians, dosimetry technicians and traveling wind technicians.

Some jobs require specialized experience, but officials say workers with backgrounds in mining, manufacturing, industrial maintenance, electrical work, utilities, heavy equipment and mechanical trades may have transferable skills.

The event is open to workers from all 54 Appalachian Kentucky counties, and virtual interviews will be available.

The jobs are primarily travel-based, with workers traveling to assignments outside Eastern Kentucky. SOAR says the seasonal positions can provide earnings comparable to a full-time salary, along with year-round benefits.

Those interested can apply through SOAR’s Eastern Kentucky Talent Network. You can find out more information at https://soar-ky.org/eastern-kentucky-talent-network/nuclear-outage-opportunities/.
