The hiring event will be held from 3 to 7 p.m. at Messer’s West Knoxville office, 120 Perimeter Park Road. The company has immediate, full-time openings for approximately 15 project managers, project engineers, safety managers, skilled craftspeople and superintendents.

The company offers competitive compensation and an extensive benefits package, including retirement plans, health and dental insurance, life and disability insurance, tuition reimbursement, continuing education plans and an employee stock ownership plan.
“Messer is a 100 percent employee-owned company,” Begley said. “Employee ownership challenges us to go beyond finding candidates who are merely qualified. We seek the most talented and committed professionals to become shared business owners of our company.”
Based in Cincinnati and with nine regional offices in the Eastern United States, Messer put in place over $1 billion in construction projects in 2014. In its Knoxville region, Messer projects include the nearly $14 million Scripps Networks Technology and Data Center, the $14 million Carter Elementary School and the $38 million Clayton Center for the Arts at Maryville College.
Messer currently is working on the $114 million renovation of the University of Tennessee’s Strong Hall science and laboratory building and the $234 million University of Tennessee West Campus Redevelopment project, which replaces several residence halls and is the largest project awarded in UT’s history.
