Inland Waters continues hiring in Detroit

Inland Waters Pollution Control continues its growth in Detroit. The Southwest Detroit-based firm added 15 people to its payroll in the last year, including two in the last month. It expects to keep that growth going into 2010.

"We're probably going to be adding 15-20 people this year," says Al Jedneak, president of Inland Waters Pollution Control, a division of Inland Pipe Rehabilitation.

Inland Waters Pollution Control specializes in rebuilding municipal infrastructure such as water and sewer lines. It does a lot of its work in the city of the Detroit but also branches out to other suburbs and states, Ohio and Pennsylvania among them.

The company recently held a job fair in Detroit and received 600 applications. The response was so strong that the company is still going through them as it evaluates prospective job candidates.

"It's staggering how many good quality people there are out there," Jedneak says.
