LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A civil engineering firm plans to open a new facility in Louisville that will bring 113 full-time jobs to the area, announced by Gov. Andy Beshear on Tuesday.
JQOL Global, a certified Minority Business Enterprise, will invest $6.4 million in a facility in Jefferson County.
"When a company locates a new operation in Kentucky, its leaders are choosing to trust and believe in our state’s unique resources, skilled workforce and business-friendly environment," Beshear said in a news release. "JQOL is yet another quality company bringing its services and well-paying job opportunities to the commonwealth."
According to a news release, the company will establish a new operation in an existing 5,000-square-foot building at 501 Baxter Avenue in the Irish Hill neighborhood. The average total hourly compensation will be $59.15, including benefits.
It will be Kentucky's second location, joining an operation in Owensboro.
"We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the city of Louisville and the state of Kentucky for their invaluable assistance and incentives," Jarvis Jointer, president of JQOL Global, said in a news release. "Your support has been instrumental in making our new location a reality, and we look forward to contributing to the growth and prosperity of this vibrant community."
JQOL Global was founded in 2019 and based in Indianapolis. The full-service civil engineering firm offers a wide range of engineering services including site, structural and transportation, along with surveying and construction administration.
