Anne Arundel County Business Expands Workforce, Physical Location

HANOVER, MD — Despite the ongoing pandemic, Green JobWorks, LLC has expanded its physical presence in Anne Arundel County along with its workforce. The business now leases approximately 8,000 square feet of space in Hanover along Mercantile Drive. The company also has hired more than 300 new employees in the past 18 months. The company works in the construction services industry and provides staffing for different business sectors.

The company originally offered staffing for light construction, demolition, abatement and cleaning services, but after the management team recognized opportunities available in other industries, a second division of the organization was formed that provided short-term and long-term skilled labor to companies with requirements such as warehousing and packaging. Green JobWorks now provides hundreds of workers to area warehouses to handle food sorting and packaging operations.

“The pandemic dramatically changed the supply chain landscape and placed greater emphasis on warehouse fulfillment services and that operation is highly labor-intensive,” Larry Lopez, president of Green JobWorks, said in a statement. “Our company was adept at identifying and hiring a talented workforce for our own needs and believed we could scale this work to service the needs of others. We were in need of additional space at Arundel Overlook to handle onboarding and training activities. After operating in Baltimore City for several years, we found space more efficient and less costly in Anne Arundel County and this is the location where we intend to stay. Because we service groups throughout the Baltimore region and into Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia, Arundel Overlook provides us with the immediate access to highways that we find especially essential.”

Located at the intersection of Dorsey Road and Airport 100 Way in Hanover, Arundel Overlook is a 68-acre mixed-use business community located within close proximity to MD Routes 100, 176 and 295 as well as BWI Airport and Fort Meade. Both 921 and 961 Mercantile Drive are single-story buildings with 42,120 square feet.

“People are extremely grateful to have gainful employment during these challenging times and, luckily, we have needs for many skilled workers and these needs continue to grow,” Lopez said. “Our teams are always under the watchful eye of on-site supervisors, as we take extreme responsibility for their safety.”
