UPS is looking to hire 600 new employees as the company expands operations at its two local package hubs.

According to UPS representatives the team is looking to fill a variety of positions including full-time, part-time and seasonal tractor-trailer drivers at facilities in Columbus and Obetz.

The starting wage for a package-handler is $10.35 per hour and drivers start at $18.75 an hour.

UPS will follow-up by hiring more than 1,000 seasonal workers in the fall to help with the craze of holiday shipping.

The company will also host a job fair for applicants on Sunday, June 3 at its Columbus location to help fill the positions.
