Veolia Water recently announced the company’s plans to move its North American operations to Indianapolis, Ind., creating approximately 100 new high-paying jobs. The company will close its Houston operations and will begin hiring finance, accounting, information technology and other professionals at an average annual salary of $100,000 later this year.
Veolia Water, which currently employs 375 employees in Indianapolis, provides water and wastewater services to more than 14 million people in approximately 600 communities.
“Indianapolis in many ways represents the future for many major urban centers and for Veolia Water to showcase its expertise,” said Patrice Fonlladosa, senior executive vice president of Veolia Water, S.A. and Veolia Environment North America director. “While we have called Indianapolis home for the past five years, we can now say it with even greater meaning.”
Since being selected to manage the city’s water system in May 2002, Veolia Water has located one of its 12 Veolia Water Learning Center’s here to provide training to the company’s more than 3,100 employees in North America.
The Indiana Economic Development Corp. offered the company up to $1.5 million in performance-based tax credits based on the company’s job creation commitments.
