LG Energy Solution Arizona is now hiring its initial seed group of employees for its electric vehicle battery plant in Queen Creek.

LGES will hire more employees in late 2025/early 2026, according to a press release from the town of Queen Creek.

Some of the positions currently open include:

• Senior Engineer, Facilities
• Senior Manager, Production
• Engineer II, Facilities
• Technician II, Maintenance
• Technician III, Maintenance
• Senior Engineer, Equipment
• Engineer II, Equipment. 

Those interested in applying for the positions are asked to visit https://www.linkedin.com/company/lg-energy-solution-az/ for more information and to apply. 

The best way to apply is via LinkedIn, but Indeed and Zip Recruiter also have the job postings, the release continued.

The facility is located at Pecos and Ironwood, just east of where the State Route 24 currently ends. The company aims to begin production in April 2026.

The highest-level of engineers, technicians and operators for LGES will be trained in South Korea, Queen Creek’s Economic Development Director Doreen Cott told the town council in December. Those employees will then come back and train new hires.

“We’ve been working very closely with the LGES (human resources) team on their hiring and training,” Cott told the council. “Construction on the Central Arizona College began in May and they will be ready for LGES to begin training in 2025. (LGES) will be recruiting employees in all areas.”

The 19,850-square-foot Pinal County Accelerator is part of the state’s $30 million Future48 Workforce Accelerator project and is part of a $42 million expansion at Central Arizona College’s Superstition campus in Apache Junction. Overall construction on the expansion began in September 2023, with Gov. Katie Hobbs announcing the training facility project in April.

“(T)he Pinal County Accelerator will offer workforce training focused on the manufacturing process of cylindrical lithium-ion batteries, used for electric vehicles and other technology applications,” according to an April press release from the Arizona Commerce Authority.
