Manufacturing jobs are some of the most in-demand jobs in the United States today and there are many staffing agencies that can help you find a job in this field. We’ll cover some of the largest manufacturing staffing agencies with offices across the country that place manufacturing talent in nearby manufacturing plants as well as travel staffing agencies that will pay for your travel to project sites across the U.S. and offer some of the highest-paying manufacturing jobs available for production and skilled trades workers today.
Local Staffing Agencies Vs Travel Staffing Agencies
Two types of staffing models in the manufacturing industry include local staffing agencies and travel staffing agencies. Traditional local staffing agencies have offices throughout the country and place you at manufacturing plants local to you. Travel staffing agencies, on the other hand, are companies that recruit top manufacturing talent from across the United States, pay for your travel to the project site, and pay for your lodging for the duration of the temporary contract assignment.
Traveling manufacturing jobs require you to be away from your home for certain periods of time such as 45, 60, or 90+ days at a time. These types of contract assignments offer adventure by taking you to new cities and states and offer career flexibility not typically found in manufacturing by allowing contractors to pick and choose assignments throughout the year on their own terms and schedule.
