PORT CHARLOTTE — The Allegiant Travel Company's much-anticipated Sunseeker Resort Charlotte Harbor will host a career and hiring fair on Sept. 26 from 4-7 p.m. at the Charlotte Harbor Event & Conference Center (75 Taylor Street, Punta Gorda, FL 33950) as the company seeks to add hundreds of new workers ahead of its grand opening later this year.

Sunseeker's career fair will offer on-site interviews for applicants for a number of positions around the full-service, luxury resort, including positions in food and beverage, housekeeping, hotel operations, spa, golf and retail departments.

Applicants may save time during the interview process by filling out an application online ahead of the fair at sunseekercareers.com.

Sunseeker Resort Charlotte Harbor has announced the food and drink concepts it will house when it opens, currently scheduled for an October grand opening.

Upon its late 2023 opening, Sunseeker Resort will be a 22-acre waterfront complex on the north shore of the Peace River in Charlotte County. The resort will include more than 60,000 square feet of meeting space and will feature seven restaurants, 11 bars, and lounges, and a 25,000-square-foot food hall.

The Las Vegas-based Allegiant airline company has continued to expand its footprint and service along Florida's Suncoast adding numerous fights and destinations from Tampa to Fort Myers over more than a decade. Allegiant offers flights from both Sarasota and Punta Gorda airports — the Punta Gorda airport is only a few miles from the resort. Allegiant started service at Punta Gorda Airport in 2009 and reported that last year, more than 1.8 million passengers traveled to and from the area via the airline.

The twice-delayed project is now accepting guest reservations online for guests and visitors. The 785-key, $585 million resort is expected to open before the end of the year.
