Apply For Oil Cleanup Jobs Wednesday In Century, Pensacola
May 4, 2010
Hundreds of people are expected Wednesday as Workforce Escarosa holds hiring events in Century and Pensacola for oil cleanup jobs that pay up to $18 per hour.
Advanced Employment Solutions (AES), a Texas based workforce development and talent acquisition company, is estimating the need for 500 people to fill positions such as general laborers, crew leaders, site supervisors, site safety representatives and lead safety representatives.
Century’s hiring event was scheduled for the Workforce Escarosa Century One-Stop at 8120 North Century Boulevard. However, Workforce Escarosa will be using the Century Ag Building on West Highway 4 (by the nursing home) for screening interviews due to the large number of people expected.
AES General Manager James Fries said the duration of the jobs will depend upon the amount of damage and the cleanup time, however he predicts the process will take between 3-18 months. Positions will range from $10 to $18 an hour and may involve extensive travel depending on the landfall of the spill.
Hiring events will be held as follows:

will a nondriver ID card with birth certificate and social security card be sufficient
Any maintenance men out there for an apartment complex? I need a good man full time and benefits. Painting, sheetrock repair, no record, Drug Free work place. Call 256-5361.
This is sad I would love to apply for one of these jobs, I have a bachelor’s degree, HAZMAT cert, PPE cert, and OSHA knowledge but you have to be able to attend one of the events and I already have a job just looking for a better one but need the one I have unless I am garenteed a better one. So because I am driven enough to have my certs and education and a job I don’t get to apply! Common on your supervisor is right here but you make it so those of us that are driven to do this can make it to your “hiring events!”
This comment is somewhat unrelated to your article. We should solicit other countries and ask for ships capable to siphon up the oil and water for recycling.
Our coast guard is deploying two today out of NAS and that’s the most sensible effort to control some of the spill that I have heard so far.
The hiring event scheduled for today at the Workforce Escarosa One-Stop Center in Milton has been moved to the SANTA ROSA COUNTY AUDITORIUM. The time is still the same: 1:00 P.M until 4:00 P.M. The signs are posted on the doors at the Escarosa Center.

What sort of proof of US citizenship is required? A passport? Birth certificate?
You just need to have your drivers license and social security card. You can also use a passport if you’d like. The reason they ask for these items is because they have to fill out I-9 forms to make sure you’re not an illegal alien.
What sort of proof of US citizenship is required? A passport? Birth certificate?
No you don’t. There is a screening form you have to pass before you can apply that has 5 questions on it. You have to answer the first 4 yes but not the last. The last question has to do with the haz certificate.
Do you need the haz certificate?
There is all ready around 100 people standing in line here at the Milton Escarosa office.
