JQOL Global to create 113 Kentucky jobs, invest $6.4 million with new facility in Louisville

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WAVE) – A civil engineering firm coming to Louisville will create over 100 full-time Kentucky jobs with a $6.4 million investment. Governor Andy Beshear announced on Tuesday that JQOL Global, a certified Minority Business Enterprise, will open a new operation at 501 Baxter Ave.

“When a company locates a new operation in Kentucky, its leaders are choosing to trust and believe in our state’s unique resources, skilled workforce and business-friendly environment,” Beshear said. “JQOL is yet another quality company bringing its services and well-paying job opportunities to the commonwealth. I want to thank the company’s leadership and look forward to their success in Louisville.”

JQOL’s investment will create 113 new job opportunities with an average total hourly compensation of $59.15, including benefits. This is the company’s second Kentucky location, with an existing operation in Owensboro.

“On behalf of JQOL Inc., we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the city of Louisville and the state of Kentucky for their invaluable assistance and incentives,” said Jarvis Jointer, president of JQOL Global. “Your support has been instrumental in making our new location a reality, and we look forward to contributing to the growth and prosperity of this vibrant community.

“Louisville is thrilled to welcome JQOL Global to our city, along with the 113 new, good-paying jobs the company is creating for our people,” Mayor Craig Greenberg said. “This investment underscores our city’s successful business environment and the talented future leaders emerging from the University of Louisville’s J.B. Speed School of Engineering. We welcome JQOL as they join a growing list of businesses investing in Louisville’s bright future.

JQOL’s investment and job creation build on the best four-year period for economic growth in state history, the release said.

Since taking office, Gov. Beshear has announced more than 1,000 private-sector new-location and expansion projects totaling over $31.7 billion in announced investments, creating approximately 53,500 jobs.
