Fluor Opens New Jersey Office

Fluor Corporation has leased 47,900 square feet in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, USA, for a regional office focusing on energy, chemicals, manufacturing and life sciences and operations and maintenance. The office will employ 200 professionals including approximately 100 new hires. Fluor will move into the new space Monday 18 December.

"This is a strong growth market, and we're pleased to be able to offer our clients this local office loaded with employees with experience in the local market and needs," said Steve Gilbert, Fluor Senior Vice President, Human Resources & Administration. "We've had great response from clients about our capabilities here."

To recruit additional employees, Fluor will host a jobs fair from 4 to 7 p.m., Tuesday, 23 January 2007 at the new offices. The company will also participate in local job fairs and is targeting established engineers in the market as well as local universities and technical colleges.

Former Fluor employees in the region have already been contacting us about positions, and we're busy staffing up for some of the exciting projects being planned for this region, as well as mega-projects around the world," said Luis Martinez, Vice President of Operations for Northeast Regional Office. "We're in the midst of one of the strongest energy and chemicals markets in history, and it's a great time to work at Fluor."

The office is located at 1120 Route 73, Mt. Laurel, N.J. Initially the Fluor team will occupy 25,000 square feet, but by February 2007 the entire 47,900 square feet will be occupied.

This month, some 100 Fluor employees from the Philadelphia area will relocate to the space. These Fluor employees are from the energy and chemicals; manufacturing and life sciences; TRS Staffing Solutions; and operations and maintenance divisions.

"Manufacturing and life sciences is also seeing strong growth globally," said Ivor Harrington, Senior Vice President, Manufacturing & Life Sciences. "We give employees the opportunity to work on large-scale, challenging projects. Our clients are some of the biggest names in the industry."

Fluor's Operations and Maintenance division has a significant presence in the Northeast region.

"The Northeast is a strategic target area for growth. Having a local presence will strengthen our ability to support existing clients, such as Dupont, IBM, Uniqema, Loreal, and Proctor & Gamble, while positioning us for the future," said Charlie Bailey, Fluor Vice President, Operations and Maintenance.
