CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — Kenworth’s Chillicothe manufacturing plant is holding an in-person hiring event Sunday, October 11, starting at 9 a.m.

Heritage Headlines called the plant and was told the event is on. A starting wage was not provided. The last time the plant held a Sunday hiring event, on August 16, promotional materials shared by Ohio Means Jobs – South Central listed a starting wage of $33.09 an hour, with an increase after six months. That figure is from the August materials, not from this week’s call.

Social posts about Sunday’s event have listed different locations. The plant confirmed the hiring event is at the Kenworth plant, 65 Kenworth Drive.

After the August event, readers told Heritage Headlines the line to get in was very long. Anyone planning to go should expect a wait and arrive prepared. Past hiring events at the plant have focused on production and assembly roles. Candidates have often been told to apply ahead of time at jobs.paccar.com. Bring a resume and be ready to talk about work history and availability.

The Chillicothe plant, part of PACCAR, is one of Ross County’s largest employers and builds heavy-duty trucks at the site. Benefits listed with the August event included a pension, 401(k), paid vacation, medical and dental coverage, and tuition reimbursement. Those details were not restated on this week’s call.

An end time was not given. Open positions, shifts, and pay should be confirmed at the event or through jobs.paccar.com. Job seekers can also contact the OhioMeansJobs Ross County center at 475 Western Avenue in Chillicothe.
