Prince George, B.C.- TELUS is investing $1.5 million to further expand its Prince George call centre and create 100 new local jobs in the next six months to support the growth of Optik TV.
“TELUS’ new Prince George team members will join our existing team supporting the continued expansion of Optik TV services across B.C. and Alberta,” said Chris Jensen, TELUS general manager for northern B.C. “We are looking forward to getting to work on the renovations and hiring so our new colleagues can get trained and start serving customers ordering TELUS’ Optik TV.”
TELUS is already taking applications for new call centre agents, and will hire steadily through the first half of the year as the expansion of the centre continues.
TELUS is rebuilding the remaining half of the floor in its 6th Avenue building that was turned into an expanded contact centre in 2008 to add new work spaces and a training room.
Expansion of the Price George contact centre began in 2008 with a $1.3 million renovation that allowed TELUS to increase the size of the contact centre from 75 to 166 agents. On completion of the 2011 expansion TELUS will employ about 266 contact centre team members in Prince George, including 24 hired in 2010 to support the growth of Optik TV. TELUS currently has a total of 292 team members in Prince George, which will grow to about 392 once the new call centre is fully staffed.
Anyone interested in applying for the new Prince George jobs can visit TELUS’ HR site at www.telus.com.
