CHICAGO - UPS is looking to hire workers for its new facility that just opened on Chicago's South Side.

The new facility is more than 178,000 square feet, and it will employ about 250 total people.

The facility will help get deliveries out fast. It can have up to 10,000 packages processed in one hour and up to 160 delivery vehicles during peak hours.

"This will help us in being able to provide industry-leading service to our customers for the thousands of packages that we deliver throughout the Chicagoland area," said UPS preload manager Ruben Bueno.

Job searches to work at UPS are up 50%. Right now, the average delivery driver makes $145,000 in total compensation — that is $95k in pay and another $50,000 in pension and benefits.

Because of a new union contract, that will increase to a total of $170,000 annually.

There will be seasonal opportunities available for workers to apply for this November and December.
