The company currently employs approximately 275 people and is hiring across manufacturing, engineering and other skilled technical and operational roles, according to [PR Newswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/spoc-energy-expands-alabama-workforce-to-support-continued-growth-302939168.html).\n\n## SPOC Energy's Hiring Push and Capacity Growth\n\nSPOC Energy designs and manufactures advanced power conversion systems and motor-control automation for mission-critical use in harsh environments, including data centers, oil and gas, marine and mobile power applications. The company says it has more than 85,000 systems installed across five continents and more than 40 countries.\n\nThe hiring initiative comes as SPOC Energy grows beyond its roots in oil and gas into markets where reliable, always-on power is increasingly critical, including utilities, data centers, marine systems and industrial power applications. The company said that diversification is creating new opportunities across the business as it expands the workforce and production capabilities needed to serve these markets.\n\n\"There's a tremendous opportunity ahead for SPOC, and we're excited about what that means for Birmingham and the people who call Alabama home,\" said Robert L. Mason, CEO of SPOC Energy. \"We're creating jobs, increasing our manufacturing capacity and building the team we'll need to support demand for years to come.\"\n\nSPOC Energy describes its Lift Up culture as central to how the company operates, built on the belief that success comes from investing in people. The company says the approach shapes how it supports employees, works with customers and builds relationships with vendors. Mason's book, Tuesday in Trussville, explores the leadership lessons and experiences that have shaped his approach to building a business.\n\nSPOC Energy lists employee benefits including health, dental and vision insurance; paid time off and holidays; a 401(k) plan; education assistance; life insurance; and short- and long-term disability coverage. Current job openings are posted on the company's [careers page](https://www.spocenergy.com).\n\n## What Comes Next for SPOC Energy\n\nThe company said its manufacturing backlog extends into 2028 and beyond, and that it is increasing manufacturing capacity to support that demand. SPOC Energy said it is actively hiring for positions across manufacturing, engineering and other skilled technical and operational roles.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
