“With three of our seven routes serving Ocracoke Island, it is so important to have local employee representation,” Ferry Human Resources Manager Lori Sanderlin said Tuesday in a release. “The main purpose of this event is to give Ocracoke residents an opportunity to join our crew and be a vital part of their community and the state.”
The remaining career fairs are scheduled for Feb. 5 at Big Rock Career Center in Morehead City, Feb. 12 at College of the Albemarle in Manteo, Feb. 21 at Southport Ferry Terminal, and Feb. 26 at Beaufort County Community College in Washington.
Representatives will be on hand to accept applications, resumes, references and supporting documents for all positions. Examples include entry-level parking lot attendants, office staff, maintenance and credentialed vessel crew. Both temporary and full-time permanent positions are available.
Benefits of permanent employment include competitive salaries, training and credential/certification increases, health insurance, retirement benefits, and paid vacation, holiday and sick leave, according to NCDOT.
