SolarWorld, USA

I have been really excited to write this post and have been waiting for months to do so.

In March of 2007, German Based SolarWorld AG announced it would build North American's largest solar product plant right here in Hillsboro, Or. SolarWorld bought the long vacant Komatsu building for a reported steal of only $40 million! SolarWorld says they will be investing approximatly $400 million for the Silicon Forest area plant.

I've been driving by this monster of a building everyday and I can't help but think they'll be staffing this office with hundreds of jobs. Well the other day I finally found job listings on their site. They currently have 29 job postings as of this writing and I don't expect that number to anything but climb.

Granted, most of the jobs are in engineering, but I don't imagine that will be a problem considering the thousands of Intel employee's that work within walking distance of the new SolarWorld plant. I imagine a few of you are looking for a change, ya?

In addition to the engineering jobs, they are also looking for: Financial Analyst, Programmer Analyst, Accountant, Public Affairs Specialist, Human Resources and Administrative positions.

So check them out at the below links, apply for some jobs, and show them what the Silicon Forest has to offer!
