The Daily Bruin

Are you tired of summer jobs that only offer limited work schedules? Are you wishing you had full employment so that you can boost your bank account? Plant Services is here for you!

Plant Services has job postings on Handshake for working with our grounds crew, carpentry crew, and porter services (furniture moving crew). You do not need a work-study award to work over the summer, but you do have to be enrolled in the fall 2021 semester.

Each crew has a limited number of positions available, so apply now if you would like full 40-hour weeks of employment during the entire summer on our beautiful Newberg campus.
