[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seoyoon] Domestic solar energy specialists such as Hanwha Solutions, as well as companies from other industries, are consecutively hiring experienced solar energy professionals. This is because the demand for solar power generation is increasing faster than expected, supported by strong policy backing from countries around the world.

According to the industry on the 14th, the Q CELLS division, which is in charge of the solar business at Hanwha Solutions, began recruiting experienced production and research and development personnel this month. Since the 1st, they have been accepting application documents for positions involving operation of ingot equipment for solar power and on-site management. Only candidates with overseas work experience are eligible to apply. Hanwha Solutions plans to give preference to those proficient in business English during the hiring process.

They are also recruiting experienced personnel for module development. The responsibilities include ▲competitor module analysis ▲coordination of headquarters and overseas field operations ▲management of new product development roadmaps ▲analysis of module output by material type. Applications will be accepted until the 19th. Candidates with more than three years of experience in the relevant field can apply, and since most technical exchanges and work sharing occur locally in the US, Europe, and other overseas locations, intermediate to advanced English conversation skills are essential.

Hyundai Energy Solutions, a solar module specialist affiliated with Hyundai Heavy Industries Group, is recruiting experienced personnel responsible for EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) sales, research and development, and legal and contract management until December 31. The sales position requires at least three years of experience in the relevant field and a college degree or higher in electronics or electrical engineering.

For the research and development sector, candidates for solar inverter development must have a four-year degree in electrical or electronic engineering or related science and engineering fields and at least two years of practical experience. For module development, candidates must hold a master's degree or higher in chemistry, materials science, electrical and electronic engineering, or related fields. For the legal contract management position, which manages solar cell and module supply contracts and risks, candidates with more than three years of legal practical review experience can apply, with preference given to those with international contract experience in the relevant field.

Hyundai Heavy Industries Power Systems, a specialist in power generation and industrial boilers, has also strengthened its solar workforce. They are recruiting experienced personnel with more than five years of practical experience in solar power generation to discover candidate solar power projects until the 18th. Applicants must have a four-year college degree and more than five years of practical experience in solar power generation.

Hyundai Heavy Industries Power Systems stated, "To become an eco-friendly energy specialist, we have been expanding new businesses such as solar power, fuel cells, and carbon dioxide capture since early this year." Hyundai Heavy Industries Power Systems was a 100% subsidiary of Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering, but it made a fresh start after Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering transferred over 80% of its shares to H Asset Management’s private equity fund ‘H First Investment Purpose Company’ in July last year.
