Please be aware that applicants are asked for demographic information during the application process. This information is only accessible through reporting and ALMACO cannot obtain any individual demographic information.

ALMACO is located on the west side of Nevada. From Lincoln Highway, turn onto 1st Street and drive one block, and then turn right onto M Avenue. You’ll drive past our shipping dock (to your left) and our employee parking lots (to your right) and you can park in the paved visitor parking lot in front of the building next to the flag pole. Please do not park in any spots that are marked as reserved. The visitor entrance to our building is marked with a sign and has a blue awning. You will be asked to sign in and provide the name of the person you will be speaking with.

If you are interested in employment at ALMACO but do not see an opportunity that fits your interests or skills, please click the “Sign In” link in our applicant portal to create a presence. Your information will then show up in internal searches for different skills and experiences. Make sure to sign back in and submit your information to an opening if you find a posting that matches your interests.

The visitor center at ALMACO is open from 8:00 am – 4:00 pm Monday – Thursday and 8:00 am – 3:00 pm on Friday. Typically, interviews are conducted within these times, but there may be cases in which we can be flexible.

Once you complete your application, you should receive a confirmation email letting you know that the application was received. After that, our hiring managers review the applications and choose who they would like to speak to. Typically we’ll start with a short phone conversation, and after that we’ll move to an in-person interview. For some positions, a work-related test is required (for example, Welder Fabricators go through an interview and a weld assessment during their visit.) Depending on the job, applicants may be asked back for a second or third visit to discuss the position with different members of our team.

If possible, there are times we may be able to provide a tour of the facility during interviews. We can provide steel toe covers, but sometimes one’s own shoes are more comfortable if they have them. We also require safety glasses in the manufacturing area, but we can provide those if necessary.

Welder Fabricators will be asked to complete a weld assessment, and if they have them they are asked to bring a welding helmet, sleeves, and gloves. (We can provide those for the test if necessary.)
