Hemisphere Design Works, the world’s largest manufacturer of kayaks, is building a nearly 500,000 square-foot distribution facility in Muskegon and is looking for help. While completion isn't set until 2019, the company formerly known as KL Outdoor is seeking 60 skilled machine operators to get ready for the distribution center’s launch.
The news comes on the heels of the Watch Muskegon Market Report from the Muskegon Lakeshore Chamber of Commerce. The report found that Muskegon’s labor force grew by 2,600 jobs between 2017 and 2018, while the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows a continued growth employment.
Meanwhile, Hemisphere Design Works is offering a 401k and health insurance for the 60 new employees beginning on day one of employment.
Interviews and a tour of the facility for applicants are scheduled for Sept. 8 from 9 a.m. to noon and Sept. 10 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Sun Dolphin Plant off Sherman Blvd.
