450+ Manufacturing & Construction Jobs in Los Angeles, CA

Observed government pay anchors are broad-market rather than trade-specific: average hourly earnings for all private employees in the Los Angeles metro were $41.74 in March 2026, and the mean hourly wage across all occupations was $37.15 in May 2025. Proxy posting data shows a much wider split inside this category: hourly-paid postings center on about $25 to $31 / hour, while salaried postings center on about $108k to $150k. National benchmarks help bracket that spread: construction averaged $39.24 per hour and manufacturing $30.35 per hour in July 2026.

What our analysts see this month

Balanced market | next 3-6 months

This is a big market, but not a hot one. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim had 141.2 thousand construction jobs and 298.0 thousand manufacturing jobs, but both sectors were down 0.8% over the year ending May 2025. California's unemployment rate was 5.2% in June 2026, and statewide employment for this job family was down 0.5% year-over-year while active postings were essentially flat in July 2026. You can still land a role here, but employers look more selective than expansive, so close-fit candidates are outperforming broad applicants.

Best positioned: Candidates with a few solid years of hands-on experience, project-management or construction-management exposure, and willingness to work on-site have the best odds because about 55% of local postings are mid-level and about 85% are on-site.

Main caution: Do not anchor on the category's top-end salary headlines; local postings mix hourly field jobs with higher-paid management and engineering-heavy openings.

Where the demand is

Most real opportunity is still construction-led. In the local posting mix, construction accounts for about 55% of category activity, while real estate, manufacturing, and engineering each contribute about 10%, and architectural & engineering services about 5%. That means the safest search strategy is not "factory only" or "trade only" but a broader lane that includes site work, facilities, tenant improvement, maintenance, and project support. This market is also broad-based rather than dominated by one company. Over the last 90 days, the local sample showed more than 6,100 postings across more than 2,000 companies, and hiring was fragmented across employers. Repeated names included Jacobs Engineering Group, WSP Global Inc., AECOM Corporation, Archinect, HDR, Inc., BKF Engineers, Inc., Greystar Real Estate Partners, LLC, and PM2CM Inc., with about 25% of postings coming from enterprise employers. The most specific growth pocket looks aerospace-adjacent and Long Beach-centered. Recent local signals include a Manufacturing Engineer opening from The Structures Company in Long Beach and on-site manufacturing-engineering activity tied to Relativity Space. If your background touches fabrication, process support, field installs, or industrial documentation, that submarket is worth a second search lane.

• Construction project delivery (high): Construction makes up about 55% of local category postings, and recurring employer names include Jacobs Engineering Group, WSP Global Inc., AECOM Corporation, HDR, Inc., and PM2CM Inc.
• Property, facilities, and building services (moderate): Real estate accounts for about 10% of postings, and Greystar Real Estate Partners appears among active employers, which supports a practical lane into facilities upkeep, maintenance, and tenant-improvement work.
• Long Beach manufacturing and aerospace support (moderate): Manufacturing and engineering each account for about 10% of local postings, and recent Long Beach signals include The Structures Company and Relativity Space.

Where to focus: Start with on-site mid-career construction and facilities roles, then add a Long Beach manufacturing-support lane if your background overlaps with production, testing, or technical documentation.

Roles worth searching next

• Manufacturing engineer: Recent Long Beach hiring signals include a Manufacturing Engineer opening from The Structures Company and on-site manufacturing-engineering activity tied to Relativity Space.
• Project engineer: Engineering listings remain active in Los Angeles, and this path overlaps with the same project management, AutoCAD, and Revit stack seen in local category postings.
• CAD or BIM designer/drafter: Local postings repeatedly ask for blueprint reading, AutoCAD, and Revit, which makes design-support work a realistic side-step for technically minded candidates.
• Quality or production engineer: Long Beach's aerospace and advanced-manufacturing signals make process and quality-oriented engineering roles a believable next step for candidates coming from fabrication, inspection, or production support.

What postings ask for

• Project management (premium | immediate): It appears in about 25% of local postings, making it the clearest cross-category signal for advancement into better-paid roles. Who: Mid-career tradespeople, foremen, superintendents, and anyone targeting construction-manager or plant-support leadership paths.
• Construction management (differentiator | immediate): It shows up in about 10% of local postings and helps translate field experience into supervisory or coordination roles. Who: Experienced tradespeople moving toward site supervision or project delivery.
• Blueprint reading (table_stakes | immediate): Blueprint reading appears in about 10% of local postings and is one of the cleanest common denominators across construction, maintenance, and production-support work. Who: Entry-level applicants, switchers, and anyone whose resume undersells technical reading ability.
• Troubleshooting (differentiator | immediate): Troubleshooting appears in about 10% of local postings and helps candidates bridge between maintenance, field service, and manufacturing-support work. Who: Maintenance techs, service techs, assemblers, and career switchers from adjacent operations roles.
• AutoCAD (differentiator | near-term): AutoCAD is named in about 10% of local postings, which makes it a practical way to move from hands-on work into coordinator, estimator-support, or technical-support roles. Who: Career switchers, estimators, project coordinators, and manufacturing-support candidates.
• Revit (premium | near-term): Revit appears less often, about 5% of postings, but it can separate you for design-linked construction roles where the barrier is higher and applicant pools are smaller. Who: Candidates aiming at BIM-adjacent, coordination, or drafting-support work.

Questions about this market

What do Manufacturing, Construction & Field Services roles pay in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA?

Observed government pay anchors are broad-market rather than trade-specific: average hourly earnings for all private employees in the Los Angeles metro were $41.74 in March 2026, and the mean hourly wage across all occupations was $37.15 in May 2025. Proxy posting data shows a much wider split inside this category: hourly-paid postings center on about $25 to $31 / hour, while salaried postings center on about $108k to $150k. National benchmarks help bracket that spread: construction averaged $39.24 per hour and manufacturing $30.35 per hour in July 2026. LA can support premium pay, but this category is really two markets at once: hands-on hourly work and higher-paid management or technical roles. If you compare yourself to the wrong half, you will either under-ask or price yourself out.
