Good news on the job front in Saskatchewan from one of Saskatchewan’s biggest companies.

Brandt Industries is announcing plans to make a major investment in staffing and will hire more than 1,000 new employees by the end of 2021.

This will see the company’s workforce grow by 30% overall with the largest individual gains occurring in the company’s Regina, Saskatoon and Hudson, Illinois locations. Half of the hires will occur at the company’s Saskatchewan locations with 40% more spread out across Canada and the balance in the USA.

The new hires will bolster Brandt’s existing operations in industries from construction, forestry, and agriculture to rail, mining, and steel. The positions will include skilled trades, sales, finance, marketing, customer support, IT, and more as the company expands its support team to meet the needs of a rapidly growing customer base.

“There’s no question that our people are the foundation of our success. In spite of some challenging times for the global economy, an incredible team effort has enabled us to sustain our business and weather the storm successfully,” says Shaun Semple, Brandt Group of Companies CEO. “Looking ahead, the growth trend for Brandt is strong, so the timing is ideal to make a major investment in our team.”
