Ohio Valley Electrical Services announces relocation and expansion to Blue Ash Technology Park, creating 40 new jobs
BLUE ASH, Ohio — Ohio Valley Electrical Services (OVES), a 100% employee-owned company with a 25-year track record of delivering large-scale commercial and industrial projects across the Tri-State region, today announced a relocation and expansion that will create 40 new jobs and invest $2.9 million in additional payroll to the local economy.
OVES will relocate its entire operation to a newly constructed facility in the Blue Ash Technology Park to accommodate continued growth and expand its capabilities. The new site spans 70,000 square feet across eight acres, doubling the company’s current facility and expanding warehouse, production and office space.
The new positions offer an average salary starting at $72,000. Roles include construction and maintenance services, engineering, electrical control panel design and manufacturing, and prefabrication.
“We are excited to continue our relationship with the city of Blue Ash and are grateful for their support in this effort. OVES is blessed to have a great team of employee owners who have helped our continued growth and success,” said Scott Hughes, CEO.
“This is a significant win for us,” said Blue Ash Mayor Jill Cole. “Ohio Valley Electric’s choice to continue its commitment to Blue Ash by investing in a new headquarters speaks volumes about our business environment as the ideal place to grow and invest. We’re proud to have Ohio Valley and look forward to continuing a strong and lasting partnership.”
“The momentum in our region is driven by companies like OVES investing not only in growth, but in people. By creating high-quality jobs and expanding its footprint, OVES is strengthening both its organization and the broader regional economy,” said Kevin Donnelly, vice president of project management at REDI Cincinnati. “That kind of intentional investment demonstrates how sustainable growth and shared success can lift an entire community, creating opportunities that extend far beyond a single company.”
“Ohio Valley Electrical Services is a homegrown success story – a 100% employee-owned company with growth rewards for the people who built it,” said JobsOhio President and CEO J.P. Nauseef. “Its decision to double down in Blue Ash further empowers Ohio’s economy and speaks to the confidence OVES has in the state’s business climate, skilled workforce and ability to support expansion.”
OVES’s team of more than 200 associates supports projects across a diverse range of industries, including the DHL and Amazon Global Hub at CVG Airport, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Purina in Clermont County, Ohio. The manufacturing and engineering divisions support multiple entities, including Sewer District 1 in Northern Kentucky and Shepherd Color in West Chester.
