United Parcel Service said it is hiring about 1,600 new part-time positions across four shifts between the Jacksonville hub being expanded in Westside Industrial Park and a relief hub at Westlake Industrial Park.
UPS said it is hiring through October with a goal to have the positions filled and trained by Nov. 1. The jobs are package sorting.
Candidates can start the application process at upsjobs.com.
UPS said the new portion of the hub will be open late 2018, with the retrofit of the existing building completed in late 2019.
A spokeswoman said UPS is maintaining customer service and keeping the hub operating.
The Westside Industrial Park is west of Interstate 295 and north of Pritchard Road. The Westlake Industrial Park relief center is at 12400 Presidents Court, west of Pritchard and Chaffee roads.
