CATLETTSBURG – Lt. Gov. Crit Luallen Thursday joined EN Engineering LLC officials to cut the ribbon on the new company facility in Catlettsburg. EN Engineering is creating 80 new jobs and investing $2.8 million into the project.
“This project is a great opportunity for eastern Kentucky, and I want to offer congratulations to EN Engineering and the region on this milestone,” Gov. Steve Beshear said in a statement. “With more than 80 percent of Kentucky’s announced new investment over the past five years coming from existing business, it shows that the Commonwealth is a place where companies want to further their growth. EN Engineering making this investment and adding engineering jobs is the latest example of that commitment.”
“Eighty new jobs coming to eastern Kentucky is tremendous news,” Luallen said. “The Commonwealth’s focus on the industrial energy sector continues to grow, and the expansion of EN Engineering will be a major part of that going forward.”
EN Engineering provides engineering, consulting, design, integrity management, corrosion protection and automation services to energy and industrial clients, including natural gas and oil transmission and distribution companies, as well as petroleum refineries. The company currently employs over 100 workers in Kentucky and is expanding its engineering capacity to better serve the tri-state region of Kentucky, West Virginia and Ohio.
The company’s expanded 24,000-square-foot facility will provide the additional space needed for its growing Kentucky operations. The company currently operates 13 offices throughout the country with over 800 employees.
