AAE Automation who builds electrical panels for oil and gas industry, water filtration industry, etc is about to obtain a large client that will require more electrical panel building workers than what they have right now. They are looking to add 1-10 depending on how much they get. Should know within the next 2-3 weeks how many, but he really wants us to get ahead of and see what type of candidates are out there. Even if he doesn’t know how many he will need, he promised me he would set up interviews with any qualified candidates we present. @Paul Foster and @Kim Burroughs if by end of the week we are not seeing much from the ads can we do some searches please?
