Russia: Baltiysky Zavod Shipyard Plans to Hire New Workers

Baltiysky Zavod shipyard, subsidiary of JSC United Shipbuilding Corporation, has begun recruitment of engineers and workers for its upcoming shipbuilding projects. In order to implement large state contracts, construction of a nuclear-powered 60-megawatt icebreaker for Atomflot and a diesel-electric 25-megawatt icebreaker for Rosmorport, Baltiysky Zavod plans to increase its workforce by one third.

According to the shipyard’s personnel director Irina Musienko, by the end of 2012 the company will need to recruit 200 employees, and in 2013 – other 450 workers plus 150 engineers and servants. “Primarily, we need qualified arc welders, assemblers of shipboard systems, crane operators and chippers“.

This is the first large-scale recruitment for the shipyard in the past 13 years. Last time Baltiysky Zavod recruited large number of workers in 1999 to build frigates for Indian Navy.
