This Week in Omaha Hiring: Data Centers, HQs, Health, and More
Published: June 21, 2026 | By LocalJobPage Team
Omaha, NE — From data centers rising in the northwest to a $500 million development planned downtown, the Big O's job market stayed busy this week. Here is everything in one place, with quick links and two upcoming hiring events you can still catch.
Six stories, several major employers, and a whole lot of ways to get hired across the metro.
Upcoming hiring events
Two to circle. The Omaha Virtual Job Fair runs Tuesday, July 7 at 11 a.m., and the Nebraska Broadcasters Association hosts a weeklong virtual media job fair July 13-17. Both are free and fully online.
The data-center boom
The metro's biggest building story keeps growing: Google's multibillion-dollar Nebraska data centers are driving construction, trades, and tech jobs across Papillion, Omaha, and Lincoln.
A Fortune 500 town
Omaha's corporate base is a rare advantage. Berkshire Hathaway, Mutual of Omaha, Union Pacific, Kiewit, and First National keep hiring across finance, insurance, IT, and operations, often promoting from entry-level roles.
Healthcare with incentives
On the healthcare side, Nebraska Medicine, Methodist, CHI Health, and Children's are hiring nurses, CNAs, and support staff, with sign-on bonuses up to $10,000 on select roles.
A building boom downtown
And the metro keeps growing. A $500 million downtown development and a wave of new restaurants across Omaha and Council Bluffs are adding jobs, from kitchens to construction.
