Jorge Hercules has been selected by Bureau Veritas to serve as the vice president of the Elevators and Certification Division in North America. In his new role, Hercules will be responsible for the operations and continued growth of these two key businesses in Bureau Veritas' portfolio of services.
- (1888PressRelease) February 06, 2013 - Hercules has more than 36 years of experience in the testing, inspection, and certification industry, and has been with Bureau Veritas for 32 years. He has accumulated a deep knowledge of Bureau Veritas' global operations and extensive inspection and auditing capabilities.
