Philips looking for workers to assemble badly needed ventilators
https://www.post-gazette.com/business/healthcare-business/2020/03/19/Philips-ventilators-assembly-jobs-COVD-19-Murrysville-employees/stories/202003190107
With health officials warning of a possible shortage of ventilators for the sickest COVID-19 patients, Philips Respironics in Murrysville is ramping up its production and looking for production line workers to help.
The company’s website says it needs second-shift production line workers to assemble and package “various Respironics medical devices,” including ventilators from 2:45 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. Workers also must be able to work overtime if needed.
A Reddit posting linking to the job description says the company is making ventilators and other oxygen-related medical devices “that are essential for the most severe cases of COVID-19” and it is gearing up for round-the-clock mass production.
“They need help and fast,” the post said.
The job requires a high school diploma, GED or equivalent work history and “experience in manufacturing, service or assembly, in a regulated environment.” English proficiency is also required.
The ad says the position offers “a competitive salary,” vacation and sick time, medical, dental and vision coverage, a 401K and “an opportunity to earn a yearly bonus.”
