BREMERTON — The Puget Sound Naval Shipyard plans to hire 850 helpers — an entry-level position that allows workers to advance in production trades.
The Kitsap Sun reported this is the third round of hiring in the past year that has already boosted the workforce at the Bremerton shipyard to nearly 12,000.
Starting pay for helpers is $15.27 an hour. They also participate in a development program. About 85 percent of apprentice workers started out as helpers.
