Columbia, S.C. – Senior Aerospace AMT, a manufacturer of structural parts for leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the large commercial jet market, will be opening satellite operations in Charleston County, creating 60 new skilled jobs. Senior Aerospace AMT is owned by the international engineering group Senior plc.
To meet the increasing build-rate requirements and streamline operations, the company plans to assemble existing products that deliver to Boeing S.C. within the North Charleston area. Establishing a local satellite location represents the first step to transfer tools and inventory to complete the sub-assembly on existing product that delivers directly to Charleston.
Senior Aerospace AMT plans to have the site operational by the end of 2014 with new positions to be filled immediately. The company is coordinating with readySC to create a pre-employment training program to begin filling job vacancies.
Applicants interested in a position with Senior Aerospace AMT may submit their resume on the company’s employment website.
The Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits for the project.
“We are excited to expand into the Charleston region and believe our new site will create value to our largest customers by providing products just in time and point of use. We are proud to be part of the growing Charleston aerospace industry and believe the local talented workforce will help us achieve our long-term strategic goals,” said Jerry Goodwin, Senior Aerospace – Aerostructures CEO.
“We welcome them to the Palmetto State’s aerospace industry that has seen a more than 600% growth in jobs in the past five years,” said Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt.
