Brasfels Shipyard Hires 1,700 People in Angra dos Reis, and There Are Still Openings

The Job Openings Offered at the Brasfels Shipyard in Angra dos Reis Are for the Positions of Welder, Scaffolding Supervisor, Plumber, Boilermaker, and TIG Welder.

According to the Metalworkers’ Union of Angra dos Reis, the naval industry is finally showing signs of recovery after six years in crisis and at least 10,000 employees laid off. The Brasfels shipyard in Angra dos Reis alone has opened more than 1,700 job positions, and best of all, there are still available spots. These opportunities are being celebrated by those who need to return to the job market.

According to the Union, the job openings are for the positions of welder, scaffolding supervisor, plumber, boilermaker, and TIG welder. These are temporary contract positions, but they help those who are unemployed, in addition to the chance of future contract renewal.

The mass layoffs began in 2014 due to the non-payment by Sete Brasil – the company that hired the shipyard to build 6 rigs for Petrobras and was later investigated by Operation Car Wash.

At that time, about 10,000 people were employed working on the platforms; since then, that number has been reduced to 1,200 employees.

With the offer of temporary positions, the number has already risen to 1,700 contracted. Although it is still very low, it brings hope for improvement in the city.

“Anything that adds value to the municipality, we welcome with open arms. Not only Brasfels but also other activities that can help grow the city’s economy are very welcome because the population wants job and income generation,” said a local resident.

For those looking for a place in the job market, this could be a good time. Anyone wanting to know more about job opportunities at the Brasfels shipyard can call (24) 3361-2130.
