DETAILS:
The EMS addition project includes the construction of a new 3-Story +/- 53,000SF addition to the existing Public Safety Training Center facility, along with associated site development. The building program includes offices, training rooms, classrooms, simulation labs, support spaces, and new MEP/FP systems.
The hiring event is open to all residents interested in exploring construction career opportunities on any of PBC’s upcoming projects.
“The community hiring event embodies our commitment to investing in our local community and creating pathways to meaningful careers,” Ray Giderof, PBC Executive Director said.
The PBC establishes city residency and community area hiring requirements for each construction project. At the outset of a project, the PBC defines the community area, usually the neighborhood and immediate surroundings areas, where a percentage of the total hours worked on a project must be worked by residents of that community area.
About the PBC: The Public Building Commission of Chicago manages construction and renovation projects for the City of Chicago and its sister agencies.
