From the Charleston Gazette:

Engineering firm to open shortly after Christmas
By Staff reports

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — An engineering firm that announced in October it would move to the area will open just after Christmas, a company official said Thursday.

Audubon Engineering will open Dec. 27 in the top floor of the Huntington Bank building in downtown Charleston, said Richard Caldwell, vice president of the company’s Appalachian region division.

So far the firm has seven employees, Caldwell said. The company has hired a recruiter who is reviewing resumes that have been sent to the Charleston Area Alliance. The recruiter will be working with Workforce West Virginia to identify candidates for hire, he said.

Caldwell said the company is interested in hiring either local residents who are out of work or underemployed, as well as native West Virginians who have moved away and want to move back.

Caldwell said he wants to have 30 to 40 employees in the office within several months.

“There will be a steady ramp-up [of employees] between now and the middle of [next] year,” Caldwell said, adding that there will also be more employees at client sites throughout the Appalachian region.

“[We've been] awarded some work from a handful of the major players in the natural gas industry, and we’ll be hiring to support those needs,” he said.
