A manufacturer has launched a recruitment drive to fill approximately 100 roles at its new facility near Carseland.
CGC Inc. produces gypsum-based building materials.
"The facility, currently under construction and set to open in 2026, represents a major advancement in CGC's domestic manufacturing strategy to increase production capacity and local job creation as the country works to meet rising housing demand," said a release.
According to staff, the building will process raw materials, including gypsum into products for buildings.
"The hiring launch marks the next phase in CGC's $325M investment to expand domestic production, strengthen supply chains, and support Canada's homebuilding and infrastructure goals," the release added.
The plant was first announced in July 2022 and broke ground in May 2024.
"The facility will be producing Sheetrock® wallboard panels and shipping them to distributors all across Western Canada by truck and rail. Sheetrock® brand drywall is the material of choice for Western Canadian home builders, construction companies and retailers," said the release.
Positions are available for production and supply chain operators and coordinators, quality technicians, mechanics, electricians, PLC technicians, and administrative professionals.
"CGC Wheatland is an innovative and state-of-the-art facility, but what will ultimately drive our success here is not the building, it's our people," said Duane VanDuuren, plant manager at CGC Wheatland. "The people we hire today will play a key role in creating the homes, workplaces and infrastructure of tomorrow in this region."
The centre is expected to be fully operational by 2026.
