Company Expects To Create 100 Jobs In Coming Years
Pacific Rim Aerospace (PacRim) has established an office in Charleston County, allowing for more direct support of its customers in the growing aerospace sector of the Southeast region. PacRim expects to create at least 100 jobs in the area in the coming years.
Founded in 2007 by Jill McCallum and headquartered in Kirkland, WA, the company has been a longtime supplier of engineering services and solutions to the Boeing Company as well as governments, manufacturers, operators and private aircraft owners.
The office, located at 215 East Bay Street in downtown Charleston, represents the company’s first outside of Washington, and PacRim plans to add a second local facility in North Charleston in the future. The growing demand for highly skilled engineers and engineering solutions in the region is why PacRim chose to come to South Carolina.
“We are excited to welcome Pacific Rim Aerospace to South Carolina. They are committed to bringing new jobs to South Carolina and supporting our growing aerospace industry. Congratulations to PacRim and their decision to create 100 jobs in our state,” said Gov. Nikki Haley.
In November 2013, McCallum was introduced to the Southeast region as a part of a group of 10 woman-owned companies that toured the Charleston area. The Boeing Company’s commitment to supplier diversity is highlighted by a robust supplier development program that includes the Women in Manufacturing (WIM) initiative. WIM provides woman-owned business leaders an opportunity to network, discuss best practices, as well as tour several Boeing manufacturing facilities throughout the United States.
PacRim plans to continue its support of Boeing products and other customers in Washington State from its headquarters and to support Boeing and other regional aerospace activities in the Southeast region through its Charleston presence.
