Cirrus Design will host a Manufacturing Career Fair, this week, on Thursday, May 5, between the hours of 4:30 - 7:30 pm at the Cirrus Duluth (MN) location. Cirrus, with major manufacturing facilities in Duluth and Grand Forks, North Dakota, is planning a major expansion to accommodate demand for future growth requirements.

“We’re excited to bring new jobs to the Duluth area,” said Cirrus CEO Alan Klapmeier. “It’s the high quality of our employees that has been crucial to the overall success at Cirrus.”

A wide variety of positions are available in both manufacturing and engineering. Jobs in manufacturing include: Paint/Detail/Body Technicians, Mechanics/Riggers, Composite Fabricators, Quality Assurance Technicians, Assemblers, and Avionics Technicians. Applicants are also encouraged to apply for positions as systems, engine, airframe, quality and manufacturing engineers and associated support staff.

Attending our Career Fair is a great way to learn about these opportunities. We are constantly seeking good people with great work ethics, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn. Cirrus offers an excellent benefit package and opportunities for advancement – if you're looking for an adventure, we're looking for you!"
