"Telvista has thrived in Danville since opening its facility in April 2005, and we celebrate the addition of 150 new jobs in a region that continues to rebound economically," said Governor Terry McAuliffe in a press release. "As we work to build a new Virginia economy, it is essential that we create 21st century jobs that provide diverse and sustainable employment opportunities and ensure that we are not over-reliant on federal spending."
"The announcement [Thursday] comes from the company's growth due to the addition of a new customer and program to support sales and service of a popular vehicle diagnostic tool and road side assistance services," said Lisa Wallace, the site director of Telvista, in a press release.
This is the company's second expansion in 18 months.
"We've been an economy that has struggled with jobs in the area, so we're excited to have this opportunity and just be part of bridging that gap and bringing more jobs to this area," Wallace said.
There will also be bilingual positions available.
Applications are being accepted for the new positions both at Telvista and the company's website.
