TL;DR intro
- Toyota is looking to fill 4,000 production roles at its Randolph County battery plant.
- No college degree is needed for most positions, but applicants must be 18 or older.
In a significant effort to bolster its battery production capabilities, Toyota is on the hunt for 4,000 employees for its new facility in Randolph County, North Carolina. The company’s ambitious hiring campaign comes as it gears up to meet increasing demands for electric vehicle batteries in a market that is rapidly transforming.
As part of its recruitment strategy, Toyota has been organizing Work Day Assessment Training sessions aimed at simplifying the application process for potential hires. The latest of these events took place in Asheboro, where interested candidates learned about the available positions and the skills required for them. These roles predominantly include logistics team roles and positions focused on machine operation. According to Allen Davis, the talent management analyst for Toyota Battery Manufacturing North Carolina, these positions are critical for the plant's phased rollout.
“Of course, things are happening in phases. We don’t have everything up and running right now, but as we progress, we will bring in more employees to help us roll out,” Davis explained. While Toyota aims to fill these roles by the end of the year, they emphasize that additional opportunities may arise as operations expand.
