Cianbro Hiring up to 600 Workers

PITTSFIELD, Maine - Construction company Cianbro says it is adding 600 workers to its payroll. Three hundred workers have already been hired and the company says it's looking for 300 more.

Company President Andi Vigue says Cianbro needs more employees because it has been winning lots of contracts.
 
"I can't say that the overall market is on an upswing, though it appears to be improving," Vigue says, "as much as we've been fortunate enough to be competitive on a significant amount of the work we were pursuing."

Vigue says the company is looking for people across the spectrum of construction trades, and is willing to look at candidates who've had a lot of experience, or none at all. He says most of the projects the company has won work for are in Maine, but some are in other states along the eastern seaboard.
