United Solar Ovonic will begin hiring 400 new employees to accommodate the recently announced expansion to add 120MWs nameplate capacity to its existing Greenville Campus. With this expansion the total employment at the site is planned to reach approximately 800 team members.

Together with a previously announced expansion the company's nameplate capacity will expand to approximately 300MWs by the end of fiscal 2010.

"This is great news for our employees and the community. It takes a large pool of talented people for United Solar to build and ramp-up a solar production facility," said Gary DiDio, plant manager of United Solar Ovonic in Greenville, Michigan.

"Greenville is a wonderful place to work. We were still very busy hiring for our initial production needs. The expansion will require an additional 400 employees.

"The majority of our hiring will be for production technicians, but there are immediate needs for supervisors, engineers, and many other roles," he added.

Greenville is located approximately 35 miles northeast of Grand Rapids. Candidates interested in a career in the solar manufacturing industry should review all open postings on the company's website.

Many jobs can be applied to directly via email, however, all candidates interested in applying for a production technician job must apply through the Michigan Works office in Greenville.
