Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories announced it is raising its starting hourly wage for U.S. employees to $18 per hour.
The company currently has approximately 300 open positions, with 50 of the openings at its Pullman and Lewiston locations.
In addition to the raise, the 100 percent employee-owned company provides full-time U.S. employees a stake in the company through its employee stock ownership plan.
With this plan, employees receive shares of the company’s stock, which are held in a trust until they retire or leave the company.
