Job seekers in Winston-Salem have an opportunity to apply for a range of positions with the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Utilities at a hiring event organized in partnership with NCWorks. The event will take place on Tuesday, September 16, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the NCWorks Career Center inside Goodwill, located at 2701 University Parkway in Winston-Salem. Overflow parking will be available at the coliseum.
Openings include roles such as maintenance workers, civil engineers, water servicers, and equipment operators. All applicants must have at least a high school diploma or GED.
