As construction advances on Lamb Weston’s new french fry line in Richland, Washington, the US-based potato processing giant is preparing to hire workers.
The company will hold a job fair from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Feb. 10 at WorkSource Columbia Basin, 815 N. Kellogg St., Kennewick, to fill the 128 positions associated with the project.
Applicants can apply at careers.lambweston.com/jobs, where Lamb Weston posts jobs ranging from white collar to blue.
Construction of the $200 million project is on track for completion this fall, said Shelby Stoolman, spokeswoman for Lamb Weston Holding Inc, the newly independent company that spun out of ConAgra Foods Inc. in November.
ConAgra announced plans to construct a second french fry processing line at its manufacturing campus in Richland in June, several months before the two companies separated.
Rising global demand for frozen potato products, namely french fries, is behind the investment.
