🏭 Who Is Nesco Resource?
Nesco Resource is a staffing agency, not a factory. The company has been placing workers since 1956 and runs about 90 branches nationwide, filling light industrial, administrative, engineering, IT and skilled trades jobs for client employers. Depending on the client, it fills short-term contract work as well as direct-hire positions.
That matters for anyone walking in on the 28th. With a staffing agency, the job itself is usually at a client company's site, and the recruiter at the table is the one who matches you to it. The event flyer, posted on the ARIZONA@WORK Pima County One-Stop calendar, does not name the client employers, the shifts or whether these are temporary, temp-to-hire or permanent jobs. Those are the first questions to ask.
💼 The Jobs and the Pay
Three roles are named on the flyer, each with a posted hourly rate:
- Assembly Operator, $17.50 an hour. Operators typically run production equipment and put parts together on a line, checking their work as it goes.
- Production Assembler, $18.00 an hour. Assemblers typically build components or finished products from parts, following written work instructions.
- Custodian, $15.45 an hour. Custodians keep buildings clean and in working order: floors, restrooms, trash and supplies.
The flyer also says "and other roles" without listing them, so bring your full work history even if you don't see your title above. Job duties vary by client; the descriptions here are what these roles usually involve, not the specific postings.
💰 Where the Custodian Rate Fits
That $15.45 custodian rate is exactly the City of Tucson's 2026 minimum wage. Outside city limits, in unincorporated Pima County, Marana, Oro Valley or Sahuarita, the Arizona state minimum of $15.15 applies instead. The minimum is set by where the work is performed, not where you live or where you interview, and staffing placements can land anywhere in the metro. Ask where the custodian jobs are, and check that the rate you're quoted matches the posting.
Both assembly rates sit comfortably above either floor. Our breakdown of Arizona's 2026 minimum wage explains how the city and state rates differ.
✅ How to Make the Most of It
- Bring your resume, more than one copy. It is the only thing the flyer asks for. A photo ID is smart to have on hand too.
- Get resume help first. The Goodwill Career Center that hosts the event offers free job search help on weekdays, including resume preparation and interview practice. Call 520-547-1096 before you go.
- Know your availability. Production work often runs on set shifts. Be ready to say plainly which days, nights and weekends you can work, and how you'll get there.
- Ask the four questions. Where is the job site? What's the shift? Is it temporary, temp-to-hire or direct hire? When would I start?
What It Means for Tucson Job Seekers
