| Ameriquest Mortgage Co. is adding a Colorado data center — and creating more than a hundred jobs in the process.
The lender recently purchased a 25,000 square-foot facility near Denver that it plans to convert into a data center. The property will create approximately 125 new jobs, according to an E-mailed statement by company spokesman Adam Bass. Although smaller in size this time around, this employment boost marks the second staff addition announcement Ameriquest has made within a month. In November, the California-based lender said it would create 2,100 servicing jobs in Illinois over the next three years. Ameriquest’s nationwide employee base of 12,000 includes about 200 people in Colorado, Bass said. The benefits of expanding in the Centennial State “include a highly skilled labor force and a central location that will help in providing 24/7 operations to enhance our service,” he added. The new hires will include network engineers, systems administrators and computer operators. They will assist in carrying out the help desk function of the data center by providing support for company software systems, and answering questions from personnel and business partners, according to the spokesman. Ameriquest is already taking applications to have the data center operating in March 2005, Bass said. |
