Lordstown's Ultium Cells Battery Plant is looking for workers. The company said they're now developing the team that will manage and launch their production.

"So as a launch team member, a really really important job is making sure we're ready for production," Chief Operating Officer Tom Gallagher said, "We have production roles, quality, maintenance, engineering along with leaders in the production space, senior technicians or team leader type roles."

The jobs will pay around $16-22 and workers will get 9-12 week training in Michigan or Ohio. Benefits include healthcare, dental, vision, and matched 401K. Job offers will start in the next four weeks and the start date is the end of July.

Basic computer knowledge is preferred for these positions, but the experience is not needed.

"We're prepared to teach everybody with those responsibilities," Gallagher said, "It really begins with the desire to want to learn."

These jobs come as General Motors announced it will support efforts by the United Auto Workers Union to organize employees at the companies' two battery factories. Former UAW President Dave Green said this is great to hear, but looks back at the 15,000 union members who once worked in Lordstown.

"It's never going to be able to go back to what it was in the heyday," Green said, "I guess the hope that is a union can get in there and drive those wages up because workers really deserve a living wage."

Ultium Cells plans on hiring 40 workers by the end of summer totaling 200 by the end of the year.

The hiring process for actual production starts in September. You can apply here.
