The City of Pasadena is hosting an apprenticeship recruitment for Pasadena residents interested in working on the Glenarm Repowering Project as union pipe fitters.
The recruitment will be held in the City Hall Grand Conference Room, Basement S038. Parking will be validated for attendees who park at the Paseo Colorado parking garage, 300 E. Colorado Blvd.
As part of its long-term power supply plan, the City is replacing an aging power generating unit at the historic Glenarm Power Plant with more efficient and environmentally friendly technology. The upgrade will reduce the plant’s emissions, improve reliability and provide a backup for intermittent renewable resources, such as wind and solar.
An agreement between the project’s prime contractor and the unions calls for at least 25 percent of the project’s payroll to be allocated for Pasadena residents. At least 15 percent of the subcontracting and procurement is designated for Pasadena businesses.
As of Oct. 10, 2014, Pasadena residents accounted for 32.5 percent of the reported certified payroll, and Pasadena businesses accounted for 27.3 percent or $451,208 of the total contracting and procurement.
During the recruitment event, Pasadena residents can learn about two union pipe fitter apprentice programs:
