Sixty new jobs are coming to Pinellas County as a national, family-run electrical contracting business expands its headquarters in St. Petersburg.

Power Design, Inc. is investing more than $3 million in its building expansion, which will house the new employees.

“We already have 70,000-square-feet of space at our headquarters in Pinellas, we are expanding on the adjacent property,” says  Lauren Permuy, VP of Business Development at Power Design, Inc..

The company, which currently has more than 130 active projects around the country, offers clients a variety of specialties including design build, construction services, engineering, systems expertise and lighting needs.

Many of the buildings the company most recently worked on, are featured on the organization's website, and some of them have also received LEED certification.
