QualityStocks would like to highlight Primoris Services Corp. (NASDAQ: PRIM).

• Various direct works in everything from process design and environmental controls to fuels, gas separation, fluid mechanics, heat separation and advanced diagnostics
• Managerial roles covering the gamut from aforementioned commercial development to strategic planning for the oil and gas industry and more complex international operations as well
