The Muscogee Nation of Oklahoma is holding a casino job far this Thursday.

The River Spirit Casino in Tulsa is undergoing a major $365 million expansion project. The Tribal Employment Rights Office estimates 5,000 workers will be needed during the two-year construction period.

“We’re looking for qualified individuals who are licensed and certified in different skills. Some of those skills pertain to carpentry, concrete and electricians,” TERO Director Randy Edge said in a press release, The Muskogee Phoenix reported.

The tribe started work on the project last November. Plans call for a 27-story hotel with 483 rooms, along with a new gaming area, entertainment venue, convention center, spa, pool, theater and restaurants in partnership with Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville brand.
