Kenilworth Jobs & Employment
Kenilworth’s job base spans borough government, schools, restaurants, healthcare, construction, automotive service, manufacturing and industrial operations. The redevelopment of the former Merck campus also introduces a significant future technology-infrastructure employment component.
Major Employment Sectors
Instructional, paraprofessional, administrative, technology, facilities and student-support positions.
Metal, plastics, fabrication, machine and specialty manufacturing businesses remain an important part of the local employment base.
HVAC, plumbing, electrical, flooring, masonry, paving, fire-safety and building-service firms create skilled-trade opportunities.
Primary care, dentistry, physical therapy, pharmacy, veterinary care, salons and wellness businesses support service-sector jobs.
Kenilworth’s active restaurant scene and in-town hotel support food service, guest services, events and management work.
The AI data-center project under construction at 2000 Galloping Hill Road is planned as a major future employer. NJEDA project materials associate the development with 143 new full-time positions, but that figure should not be read as a count of jobs currently open.
