One of Lexington's largest employers, ACS, is adding 100 technical support jobs, bringing its Lexington workforce to 2,075, the company said Monday.

The positions are full-time and offer benefits, such as health insurance, said ACS spokesman Chris Gilligan. Pay will depend on experience and education. Some positions are supervisory.

The new employees will be based at the company's Lexington headquarters on Yorkshire Boulevard off Richmond Road.

Gilligan said the new employees will primarily support one ACS client, but the client cannot be identified.

Hiring begins immediately, and training is expected to begin within a few weeks. Candidates can apply at the Yorkshire location, Gilligan said.
