A food truck, ice cream, and a chance to see heavy machinery up close creates an atmosphere that’s fun for the whole family
BREWER – Cianbro, which was recently named one of the Best Places to Work in Maine, is hosting a walk-in hiring event at its facility at 517 South Main Street in Brewer from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 18, for a long-term, historic project. However, in true Cianbro fashion, the company is putting people and family at the forefront of this event. Not only will prospective team members be able to get an on-the-spot interview, they can also bring their family for some fun, with a food truck, ice cream, and some of Cianbro’s heavy machinery on site to create a festive and enjoyable atmosphere.
