Jobs Returning To Jay Oil Field; Applications Being Accepted Now

August 27, 2009

After laying off dozens of employees earlier this year, a Jay oil company is hiring again.

Quantum Resources of Denver, Colorado, laid off about 70 employees and stopped production in January, citing a large drop in oil prices and the recession

But after a state bill  that provides exemptions and tax breaks to the six active oil producing companies in Florida, including Quantum, production is returning to Jay.

The company is hiring for positions like plant operators, safety technician, maintenance mechanic, warehouse coordinator and production operators. Applications are being accepted 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. through Friday at 5415 Oil Plant Road in Jay

The state is expected to lose $5.2 million in revenue from the oil company tax break bill, but  Rep. Greg Evers, co-sponsor of the bill in the Florida House, said it will put people back to work, royalty checks back into the hands of property owners and contractors back on the job.

Company officials have not announced a date for resuming oil production in Jay.
