Working in Corvallis
The City of Corvallis is an employer of choice for the entire mid-valley region. As a community, Corvallis is ideally positioned in Oregon to take advantage of all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer. Situated in the Willamette Valley, the city is an hour from the spectacular Oregon Coast and two hours from the snow-capped peaks of the Cascade Mountains. The Portland metro is accessible to the north for those seeking to add some big-city flair to their Northwest lifestyle.
