Ultium Cells LLC, the startup battery manufacturing company owned by General Motors, is looking to hire 1,100 people in the Northeast Ohio area.
The company is hard at work building a brand new battery cell manufacturing facility in Lordstown, Ohio. The factory is located on the site of the former factory that previously built the Chevrolet Cruze.
As the building and facility come into shape General Motors, or well, Ultium Cells, LLC, is starting to flush out the company’s workforce.
Those interested can visit the company’s website. Right now the company is looking to actively hire key positions to execute the setup and start of manufacturing. As more positions come online the company will post them to their website.
“We are excited to share our vision of an all-electric future as we begin adding members to our highly-technical battery cell manufacturing team,” said Thomas Gallagher, plant director, Ultium Cells LLC. “This facility will lead us into a new era of manufacturing and sustainability as we push toward a zero-emissions future. We are very grateful for the Lordstown community’s continued support.”
The first batteries produced by the facility will be used to power the GMC HUMMER EV, Cadillac LYRIQ, and GM”s Cruise Origin shared self driving vehicle.
