A major transportation and supply chain management company is building an estimated $200-plus million campus on 100 acres near Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

Why it matters: Tennessee-based Averitt is expanding in Charlotte, adding 211 jobs over four years to its existing 182-person workforce, with an average annual pay of $81,769.

The intrigue: While Charlotte keeps landing big bank job announcements, these roles are different — drivers, dock associates, diesel mechanics and other logistics positions.

Many will not require a college degree, with on-the-job training available and paths to move up.

What's next: Construction on the campus, replacing Averitt's Westinghouse Boulevard location, starts immediately and will wrap up in 2028, according to a city-county press release.
