Irwindale Job Fair October 23: Free Regional Career Fair at SCE's Energy Education Center
IRWINDALE, CA — The San Gabriel Valley gets its own job fair this month. The Irwindale Chamber of Commerce and the City of Irwindale host their Annual Regional Job & Career Fair on Friday, October 23, at Southern California Edison's Energy Education Center on Irwindale Avenue. It is free, open to the public, and the exhibitor list leans toward the kind of steady work this stretch of the 210 and 605 runs on: utilities, quarries, public safety, schools and manufacturing.
One Friday, one room, a lineup that runs from Costco and Southern California Edison to the Sheriff's Department, the Navy and the gravel companies Irwindale is known for. Bring a resume and dress for it.

🔥 Who's on the Exhibitor List
The chamber's job fair page names close to 30 exhibitors and sponsors. A sampling:
- Utilities and building materials: Southern California Edison, Vulcan Materials, Martin Marietta, United Rock Products, Athens Services
- Retail and food production: Costco, Groupe Bonduelle Fresh Americas, Georg Fischer Signet
- Public safety and government: LA County Sheriff's Department, LA County Probation, LA Port Police, the U.S. Navy, the City of Irwindale
- Schools, care and services: Covina-Valley Unified, Mt. San Antonio College, Home Instead, Center for Autism and Related Disorders, Absolute International Security, Mariposa Landscapes
Some tables are there to hire, some to train. The East San Gabriel Valley America's Job Center, LACOE's GAIN program and a few schools and nonprofits are on the list as resources, not employers. Useful if you are switching fields, but know which table is which.
Two exhibitors called out specific openings on the chamber's page: Absolute International Security for officers and supervisors, and Mariposa Landscapes for multiple positions. Nobody has published a total job count, so treat everyone else as a conversation, not a guaranteed opening. The final roster can shift before the day.
💼 Why This One Is Worth the Drive
Irwindale is a small city with a big industrial footprint. The quarries along the San Gabriel River and the plants and warehouses along the 605 pull workers from Baldwin Park, Azusa, Duarte and Covina every morning. Here, the employers at the tables are often a short commute from home.
The public safety lineup is the other draw. Three law enforcement agencies plus the Navy under one roof: compare academies, requirements and pay steps in one afternoon.
📋 How to Show Up Ready
- Register in advance through the chamber's free form, then arrive early; utility and county tables draw the longest lines
- Bring printed resumes. The chamber's advice is to bring your resume and dress to impress, so business casual at minimum
- Have any driver's license class, forklift card, security guard card or other certification written down
The date and hours come from LACOE's Hiring Spree LA event listing, and the chamber's own page says only that the fair is in October. The chamber's previous fair used the same SCE venue. Call the chamber at (626) 385-0611 to confirm before you go.
