Golden Pass LNG announced the Local Business Initiative in October 2015. The Local Business Initiative gave local businesses an opportunity to get “pre-screened” to compete for work with the proposed Golden Pass LNG export project.
Visit the Southeast Texas Workforce Guide to learn about industrial construction and operation positions that will be available with the Golden Pass export project and LNG Export facility.
CCZJV is hiring thousands of construction workers to build the new facility and Golden Pass LNG is hiring about 200 new direct employees to operate it. Golden Pass developed the SETX Workforce Guide to inform local residents about the range of job opportunities being created and provide a step-by-step guide on how to train and apply for them. There are construction jobs available for every skill level – even those without previous industrial experience – and a strong focus on local hiring.
The online guide is designed to help users learn about the industrial field, find jobs they’re interested in, get qualified and apply online. Get started today at SETXWorkforceGuide.com.
