Huntington Ingalls Industries’ Ingalls Shipbuilding division plans to hire approximately 3,000 full-time shipbuilders as part of its future growth plan. Ingalls’ talent acquisition team has been recruiting across Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana, and will return to Pascagoula on June 10 to host a hiring event at Ingalls’ new human resources building located at 1000 Jerry St. Pé Highway. Ingalls offers competitive pay and health insurance, 12 paid holidays annually, a health care clinic for shipbuilders and their families and more. The shipyard recently completed facilities enhancements, including more than a million square feet of covered work area, improved access to work sites and tool rooms, cool down and hydration stations and a second dining area in the shipyard that features a Chick-fil-A. No-cost, pre-hire training is available to those without the required skills or work experience. Ingalls is hiring ship fitters, electricians, pipefitters, pipe welders and structural welders and seeking applicants with mechanical, hot work or carpentry experience.
