CHESTER, WV - A job fair, slated for Thursday, June 9 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Mountaineer Casino Racetrack and Resort, will feature diverse job opportunities. Mountaineer is seeking applicants in the following departments: accounting, hotel operations, maintenance, MIS, internal audit, food & beverage, human resources, retail sales and gaming. Job seekers will have the opportunity to fill out applications on the spot and Mountaineer department heads will be on hand to interview those filling out applications for their respective areas.

Jobs at Mountaineer offer health care benefits and tuition reimbursement. Employees at Mountaineer also have opportunity for career advancement as well as lateral transfers.

“As a destination resort, Mountaineer offers great career mobility,” said Mountaineer President & CEO Ted Arneault. “Employees not only have the opportunity to move up within their own departments, but to transfer to other departments as positions become available, either at Mountaineer or at properties owned by Mountaineer’s parent company, MTR Gaming.”

MTR currently has properties in Las Vegas, Columbus, Ohio and has a license to build and operate a thoroughbred racetrack in Pennsylvania. The diversity of Mountaineer’s offerings and the wide range of schedules available to workers also provide employment opportunities to those seeking part-time work. The job fair will be located in Salons A-D in Mountaineer’s Convention & Conference Centre.
