LG Chem will soon start its electric vehicle battery materials business, and as it prepares for this division, it is aggressively hiring people to fill in various positions in the company. It was said that hundreds of job posts are open since this is a massive expansion into a new venture.
What the company is looking for
The Korea Herald reported that LG Chem is expecting to hire hundreds of new staff set for its upcoming advanced materials division. Moreover, the firm is also expanding to other areas of business and markets, so it needs to hire the right employees.
The largest Korean chemical company, headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, is looking to recruit talented people in their own fields. Since there will be many business units in the company when it starts operating its electric vehicle materials business, it wants to hire staff who can do their job well.
LG Chem will have divisions in materials, post-consumer recycled plastics, reverse osmosis filters, and organic light-emitting diodes. New recruits will be appointed in any of these units according to their expertise and work experiences. This latest hiring spree is said to be the company’s biggest job recruitment since 2019.
LG Chem’s hiring process
Applicants should take note that the company is planning to accept job applications only until Tuesday, May 11. For those who will pass in the initial screening process, The Korea Times reported that there will be a two-stage interview process and an aptitude test. Once they pass this phase, they will be asked to report to work in July.
Through the new workers that will be hired, LG Chem sees them as big contributors that will help strengthen its future competitiveness in the electric vehicle battery materials industry. The company is aiming to take the lead in this market, and it will do its best to achieve this goal.
"This year, we are focusing on fostering our EV battery materials business and have come close to 5 trillion won in sales in the advanced materials division," the firm stated during a news conference call when it released its Q1 earnings report last week. "We plan to double our sales within the next five years and we also plan to expand our eco-friendly product materials line to better meet the environmentally-friendly trend, which includes IT materials that go into TVs, mobile phones and OLEDs, as well as next-generation semiconductor materials and engineering plastic."
