SolarWorld enters hiring phase
SolarWorld announced Wednesday that the company is moving forward with plans to add equipment and employees to its Hillsboro plant, adding 350 additional jobs to the site by the end of September.
The Hillsboro facility will grow from about 650 employees to about 1,000. In all, SolarWorld will employ about 1,250 people at its U.S. locations, including its plant in Camarillo, Calif.
The planned growth will fulfill the company's original plan for the Hillsboro plant, which opened in a once-vacant semiconductor fab in 2008.
“SolarWorld is a great Oregon success story,” said Gov. Ted Kulongoski in a press release. “This next phase opens the doors of opportunity for hundreds of Oregonians seeking employment and advances the production of clean, renewable energy."
Open jobs will be posted to the SolarWorld website.
