How to get a job at Caterpillar

Jason Murphy, the center’s human resources manager, said hiring will continue through the summer with a hiring push expected this fall.

You can apply only online. Begin at the company's human resources web site, www.JoinTeamCaterpillar.com .

If you don’t see any immediate openings for Clayton, Ohio, check every three to five days.

Bear in mind that the company has two “Clayton” locations, in Ohio and in North Carolina.

The site posts openings for the company around the world.

Don’t try to drop your resume off at the company’s Clayton center.

You’ll be directed to the website (see above).

“We’re looking for people who have great attention to detail. That’s critical,” Murphy said.

“If you’re willing to learn, we’re willing to teach you how to do the job.”

Hourly wages start at $11.50 with “full benefits,” including health and life insurance and matching of 401K contributions up to 6 percent.
