Amazon’s new fulfillment centre in Balzac is nearing completion, and more than 1,000 full-time positions will be filled once the centre becomes operational, according to a recent release from Amazon.

The jobs will provide benefits that will include medical, dental, stock options, and performance-based raises. 200 jobs have already been created during the construction of the facility.

“Amazon is already supporting the creation of hundreds of construction jobs before the building even opens,” said Amazon Regional Operations Director Vibhore Arora in the release.

“We’re grateful to the local businesses and services who have provided their expertise, skills, and dedication to creating this new fulfillment center.”

Anyone hoping to find out more about the job opportunities — or to grab a morning meal — can swing by 7555 Falconridge Boulevard NE on Saturday.
