Los Alamos National Laboratory sits on top of a once-remote mesa in northern New Mexico with the Jemez mountains as a backdrop to research and innovation covering multi-disciplines from bioscience, sustainable energy sources, to plasma physics and new materials.
Nearly 500 seek positions, from laborers to project managers. Los Alamos, New Mexico, October 30, 2009—Nearly 500 job seekers turned out for a Los Alamos National Laboratory-sponsored job fair near Espaņola, New Mexico, on Thursday. The job fair was aimed at filling current and future positions with subcontractors working on environmental cleanup under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, as well as other Lab work. Ten of the Lab's prime subcontractors and the New Mexico Workforce Connection accepted rÊsumÊs and applications during the event at the Ohkay Conference Center. "There was a line of 95 people waiting when the doors opened," said Gordon Dover, the Laboratory's deputy director for Recovery Act environmental cleanup. "We've had great turnout." Employers at the fair said they'll need everything from laborers and heavy equipment operators to safety professionals and project managers. Workforce Connection officials said the event was especially timely because of the closure of a molybdenum mine in Northern New Mexico.
