Reports that Irving, Texas-based Fluor Corp. is looking to downsize its Aliso Viejo operations don't add up with growth signs for the local unit of Orange County's largest engineering company, with 70 employees hired year-to-date. Fluor (NYSE: FLR), which got its start in Santa Ana in 1912 and once counted nearly 1,500 employees here, now employs roughly 400 in Aliso Viejo, where it operates out of a 170,000-square-foot base across two buildings at 2 and 3 Polaris Way. It's looking to hire an additional 30 employees by the end of the year as the firm ramps up its sustainability-focused engineering work across Southern California, company officials tell the Business Journal.
