Toyota starting to hire for battery plant in Guilford County

Описание: Construction on this billion-dollar investment is advancing with the walls of a half-million-square-foot building now in place.

Toyota meanwhile is already advertising to attract a solid workforce.

The four walls that are already standing on the property tell the story that is to come, millions of dollars for the local economy and more than 1,700 new jobs.

"We've already hired people for some technical positions," said Sean Suggs, President of Toyota Battery Manufacturing in North Carolina.

Suggs says the company plans to ramp up hiring in just a few months for its new battery manufacturing plan, even though the project is years from completion.

The average salary for the jobs is expected to be more than $62,000.

"The bulk of our hiring will start mid-this year into the Fall of this year," said Suggs.

Despite some weather hiccups, Suggs says work on the manufacturing plant is right on track.
