Mint hiring

As the economy turns sour, investors are turning to precious metals, and that has been good for Northwest Territorial Mint. The surge in business requires so many new employees that the country’s leading mint and precious metals dealer will hold its own Job Fair on Sunday at Emerald Downs, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Northwest Territorial Mint has immediate needs for over a dozen positions including: sales, accounting, administrative support, press operator, machinist, die cutter, heavy overhaul mechanic, maintenance mechanic, graphic designer, and SAP administrator/analyst.

“Interest in our minting, bullion and precious metals items has never been greater, and we are looking to hire talented individuals immediately,” said Ross Hansen, owner and CEO of Northwest Territorial Mint.

Job fair attendees will be able to meet company representatives from management and human resources and learn more about current openings.
