Faith Technologies Incorporated (FTI) is preparing to ramp up hiring in Alabama as it moves forward with the launch of a new manufacturing facility in Opelika. The company will host a dedicated hiring event on June 9 aimed at filling a range of skilled electrical and manufacturing positions tied to the site’s operations.
The effort marks a key workforce milestone as the firm expands its production capacity in the Southeast and positions the Opelika facility as part of its broader national growth strategy.
The upcoming manufacturing operation will be located in the Northeast Opelika Industrial Park within a converted distribution center. The site is being adapted to support electrical manufacturing and related production activities, reflecting continued demand for prefabricated and industrialized construction components.
The project is expected to support approximately 200 new full-time positions in the region, with hiring spanning both skilled trades and entry-level roles.
The hiring event will focus on filling electrical and manufacturing positions, including electricians, electrical apprentices, foremen, and technicians. The company is also recruiting for entry-level roles as it builds out its workforce pipeline for long-term operations.
Recruitment efforts are being supported through an open-format hiring session, allowing candidates to engage directly with talent acquisition teams without requiring advance appointments.
FTI’s hiring push reflects a broader expansion strategy across engineering, construction, manufacturing, and clean energy sectors. With a nationwide workforce exceeding 6,000 employees, the company continues to scale operations in response to demand for integrated energy and construction solutions.
The Opelika facility is part of a wider effort to strengthen domestic manufacturing capacity while supporting job creation in regional markets.
Across the construction and industrial sectors, demand for skilled electrical workers and manufacturing technicians continues to outpace supply. Contractors and manufacturers are increasingly investing in workforce development programs and regional hiring events to secure talent pipelines.
This trend is particularly pronounced in energy-related manufacturing, where electrical systems, prefabrication, and modular production are becoming more widely adopted.
For owners and developers, workforce expansion efforts like FTI’s highlight ongoing labor market constraints affecting electrical and manufacturing trades. Access to skilled labor remains a critical factor influencing project schedules, cost stability, and delivery capacity.
As more firms expand in-house manufacturing capabilities, construction supply chains may see improved consistency in prefabricated components, but competition for skilled workers is expected to remain a key industry pressure point.
