Raytheon is planning to expand its Southern Arizona operations. The company announced that it could eventually add nearly 2,000 jobs.
The company will add the positions over a five year period. Currently the company is listing a little over 300 jobs in Tucson on its website.
The company plans to hire workers at all skill levels with an emphasis on engineering and other higher-wage, technical positions.
“With an existing workforce of 10,000 people and a network of over 500 suppliers in Arizona, Raytheon is the largest private employer in Southern Arizona and has an incredibly positive economic impact throughout our state,” said Governor Ducey. “Increasing Raytheon’s infrastructure and job growth in Arizona is a major win for all of us, and the result of strong partnerships statewide.”
On Friday, the Tucson Mayor and Council held an Executive Session with the attorneys to discuss the First Amendment to the Pre-Annexation Agreement between the City of Tucson and Raytheon Missile Systems, that was approved in August 2009.READ HERE
