Graton Resort & Casino has ambitions to become the North Bay’s largest private employer, with plans to hire 430 workers this year.
The Rohnert Park hotel, gambling and restaurant complex is in the midst of a $1 billion, multi-year expansion and will open three new eateries simultaneously on May 4. On Wednesday, it is holding a career fair with the goal of hiring 160 culinary workers, including chefs, cooks, bartenders, servers and managers.
“We are on a hiring frenzy right now,” said Jennifer Murphy-Ellamar, Graton’s vice president of culinary operations.
Graton currently employs 2,440 workers and plans to grow to 3,200 by the completion of the expansion.
