Effect of pandemic restrictions
World-wide, the aerospace and aviation industry has been hard hit by the pandemic. At Honeywell, there was an initial slowdown at the beginning of the pandemic. However, operations have quickly returned to pre-COVID-19 levels and are actually increasing in terms of receipts and demand. This is reflected in the high levels of hiring at the site.
Hiring needs
Right now on PEI, Honeywell is looking to hire seven Technicians, one Machinist, and one ISC Supervisor.
The skills and experience needed are very dependent on the role. The above roles require technical skills, machinist experience, and supervisory experience, but we also have shipping/receiving, demand planning, and forecasting roles on site.
Training provided to new hires
Depending on the role, previous experience, and skill set, comprehensive training is provided. We also encourage career development.
