Shaw Announces Employment Opportunities

The Shaw Group Inc. has announced plans to add an additional 5,000 professionals and craft workers to its 21,000 person work force over the next 12 months. Shaw is experiencing unprecedented growth demands globally in its Power, Energy & Chemicals, and Fabrication & Manufacturing divisions. Opportunities in Power include the Fossil, Nuclear and Maintenance sectors, including coal and gas-fired power plant engineering and design, and next-generation nuclear plant engineering and design. While most positions are in the domestic market, there are also overseas opportunities.

J. M. Bernhard, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Shaw, said, "This company was founded 20 years ago with 3 employees, and I'm very pleased that Shaw has reached record staffing highs of over 21,000 employees. Shaw is providing great opportunities to employees, improving their families' lives by working at Shaw. Our best years are ahead of us in a promising market and we are positioned to help our clients achieve their goals."

Shaw will be recruiting at career fairs in the Denver, CO; Boston, MA; Charlotte, NC; Trenton/Cherry Hill, NJ; and Houston, TX areas and Toronto, Canada through April. Interested applicants can look at openings at our 170 locations around the globe and submit a resume via the company's website career area.

With estimated revenues in 2007 of over $5 billion and a backlog of $9.5 billion, Shaw is positioned to take the lead in several markets. The company has experienced significant growth in over the past two years, and expects to continue to grow rapidly. Shaw has hired 2,700 professionals in the past 6 months. With innovative proprietary technologies and first-of-a-kind projects, Shaw offers engineering and construction professionals the kinds of challenges they won't find elsewhere. For example, Shaw announced on March 1 that the Westinghouse/Shaw AP1000 Consortium has completed a framework agreement with China's State Nuclear Power Technology Company (SNPTC) to provide four AP1000 next-generation nuclear power plants in China.

"Shaw is the place to be for a career in many facets of engineering and construction," J. M. Bernhard, Jr., continued. "The opportunities we offer in nuclear, fossil, chemicals and energy are second to none. With first-of-a-kind opportunities and a rapidly growing backlog of work, we're seeking the best and brightest in the industry to join us now."
