The Anniston Army Depot is hiring almost 300 temporary workers.

According to the Anniston Star the facility will hire 294 temporary employees who will work for one year to help the depot meet its 2014 workload schedule. Those interested in applying, can do so through the official job site for federal government vacancies – usajobs.gov

The depot currently provides employment to approximately 3,000 workers – who repair, modify, and upgrade combat vehicles and small arms for the military.

The new hires will replace the rest of the 371 temporary workers, laid-off by the depot, on March 30th due to federal budget cuts; the Depot already added 80 temporary jobs in May, due to heavy workloads.
