Brandt announces plan to create over
1,000 new jobs
The Brandt Group of Companies announced plans to
make a major investment in staffing and will hire more
than 1,000 employees by the end of 2021. The new positions
will span the Regina-based company’s 100-plus
location, international network with a focus on roles in
Canada and the United States.
“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,”
said 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.”
During the past 10 years, Brandt has expanded their
employee base by 140 per cent to more than 3,400
employees, with the pace of growth continuing to accelerate
steadily. The newly announced hiring initiative
will see the company’s workforce grow by 30 per cent
overall, with the largest individual gains occurring in the
company’s Regina and Saskatoon,Sask., and Hudson, Ill.,
locations. Half of these hires will occur in the company’s
Saskatchewan locations with 40 per cent more spread
across Canada, and the balance in the United States.
The new hires will bolster Brandt’s existing operations
in industries from construction, forestry and agriculture
to rail, mining and steel. The positions 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.
“As life begins to return to normal and we look ahead
to economic recovery, this is very exciting news for
workers and their families,” said Saskatchewan Premier
Scott Moe. “Saskatchewan has what the world needs and
Brandt’s success is a testament to the resiliency of our
province’s industries in some of the most challenging
global economic times.”
