Rosendin has launched a hiring campaign in central Texas, hoping to recruit 700 craft trade workers to construct the region’s digital and energy infrastructure. The 100-plus-year-old company is hiring skilled electricians, general laborers and support staff to construct three data centers and a renewable energy facility that are already underway in Dallas, Temple and Abilene.

Journeymen electricians and apprentices working with the IBEW can start immediately on projects.

“We’ve been invested in Texas for over a decade, and these projects will bring another seven to 10 years of stable work,” says Shaun Mahan, operations manager.

Central Texans will soon see Rosendin’s logo and recruiting campaign, with local electricians featured in various advertising mediums.

The 67-acre, four-building complex totals more than 602,000 sq ft and reaches several key milestones to further solidify its position as a premier industrial development in the rapidly growing Southeast Austin submarket.

The business park is strategically located with access to Interstate 35 and state highways 130 and 71, with the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport just 1.5 miles away, making it an ideal location for various industrial users including third-party logistics providers, R&D users, e-commerce distributors as well as for consumer goods warehousing.
