Make it here… Make it a career
The Lehigh Valley ranks among the top 50 manufacturing markets nationally and companies are eager to hire new talent to fill high tech entry-level roles at very competitive starting salaries. In fact, Lehigh Valley production technicians starting salaries are more than 20% higher than production technicians nationally.
