BIRMINGHAM -- November 13, 2026 -- SPOC Energy, a Birmingham-based maker of power conversion systems and motor-control automation, is hiring in Alabama for manufacturing, engineering and other technical roles. It has about 275 employees and says its manufacturing backlog extends into 2028 and beyond.
By our calculation, a backlog reaching 2028 runs more than a year past this announcement. The company did not disclose the number of positions it plans to fill, the size of the backlog or the planned increase in capacity.
SPOC Energy says it has more than 85,000 systems installed in over 40 countries on five continents. Against the current headcount, that works out to roughly 309 installed systems per employee. The figure is cumulative and does not measure annual output.
The company says it is expanding beyond its oil and gas origins into utilities, data centers, marine systems and industrial power applications. CEO Robert L. Mason said SPOC is "building the team we'll need to support demand for years to come."
Applicants for the open roles would join a workforce with a benefits package that includes health, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan, education assistance, and life and disability coverage, according to the company.
