Wacker Polysilicon North America wants to fill about 60 more lead operator and supervisory posts in chemical and technical manufacturing areas for its Charleston, Tenn., plant.

“We are looking for people with a mechanical, technical or chemical background who also have leadership experience in a manufacturing environment,” said Erika Burk, director of human resources for the Bradley County facility. “It is our goal to make 60 job offers by the holidays.”

She said plans are to begin interviews for the jobs in November.

Those hired will train for six months in Chattanooga at the Wacker Institute at Chattanooga State Community College, earning between $15 and $21 per hour, according to the company. New hires then will travel to Wacker’s polysilicon plant in Burghausen, Germany, to train alongside their counterparts there.
