Virginia Natural Gas announced Thursday it is hiring “dozens of permanent positions” to be based throughout Southeast Virginia.
The positions are being added as the company expands its investment in its natural gas infrastructure modernization program, and to continue to provide quality construction oversight due to increased workloads, according to a news release from the company.
The new hires will also address the company’s aging workforce and workforce development plans.
The company is looking for candidates to fill full-time positions including project coordinators, construction inspectors and utility workers across its service territory in Hampton Roads.
