This Week in Albuquerque Hiring: Chips, Film, Labs, and More
Published: June 21, 2026 | By LocalJobPage Team
Albuquerque, NM — From semiconductor cleanrooms in Rio Rancho to soundstages at Mesa del Sol, the Duke City job market had a lot going on this week. Here is everything in one place, with quick links and an upcoming hiring event you can still catch.
Six stories, several major employers, and a whole lot of ways to get hired across the 505.
An upcoming hiring event
Mark it down: the Albuquerque Virtual Job Fair runs Monday, July 27 at 11 a.m., so you can interview online with local employers from home. Free to join, no commute.
Intel doubles down
The biggest industrial story: Intel's $3.5 billion Rio Rancho expansion is driving thousands of semiconductor jobs, many of which start with a certificate and training rather than a four-year degree.
A real film industry
On the creative side, Netflix's ABQ Studios expansion is fueling hundreds of film and TV production jobs, including plenty of skilled-trades work for people who never thought of film as an option.
National-lab brain power
And the metro's tech backbone keeps hiring: Sandia National Laboratories on Kirtland lists hundreds of openings for engineers, technicians, IT, and support staff.
Healthcare across the metro
The big health systems are hiring too. Presbyterian, the state's largest private employer, and Lovelace have roles for nurses, new grads, and support staff, including paid residencies.
New flavors, new jobs
On the hospitality side, a wave of new restaurants from Sawmill to Barelas to El Vado is hiring cooks, bartenders, and counter staff, with more openings on the way this summer.
