MONTREAL — — Aerospace company Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. is seeking 100 skilled workers for its Quebec manufacturing operations.
“We are experiencing some of the fastest growth in our history, thanks to strong demand for our products and services across all the markets we serve,” vice-president Benoît Brossoit said Wednesday in a release.
“This is creating exciting new job opportunities for skilled individuals to join a leader in the booming aerospace industry.”
The company, based on the south shore of Montreal, will hold a job fair this week to help fill the permanent positions. Jobs include machinists, engine assemblers, sheet metal workers and operations inspectors.
Pratt & Whitney Canada is owned by United Technologies Corp., based in Hartford, Conn.
The Canadian company has developed more than 50 new engines over the past decade for various aircraft and helicopters. It also has more than 20 new engines under development.
Last December, it announced a $1.5-billion investment in research and development over five years to create Canadian-made technologies.
Pratt & Whitney has more than 7,000 employees in Canada, including 1,500 engineers at its research centres in Quebec and Ontario.
