All positions are directly recruited, with a monthly scale of 4,000 people and a salary range of 5,000 to 9,000 yuan per month. Frontline operators are the most in short supply.

A person related to BYD's 11th Division said that BYD Zhengzhou Base can roll off a new energy vehicle in less than a minute and a power battery cell in 30 seconds. At present, the biggest constraint to increasing production capacity is manpower, and the most scarce is front-line operators. The work content of operators involves the use of auxiliary equipment for simple assembly of products. Recruitment requirements are 18 years old or above and a junior high school education or above.

The source also said that BYD Zhengzhou Base's production will grow rapidly in the third and fourth quarters of this year. Based on this, the recruitment demand for operators in August is about 2,000 to 2,500 people, and at least 3,000 people are expected to be recruited in September. As BYD's largest contiguous production base, BYD Zhengzhou Base mainly producesSong L DM-i, the delivery volume of this car has exceeded 10,000 units shortly after it was launched on the market.

Recruitment information shows that the normal working hours at BYD's Zhengzhou base are from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (including overtime, the legal limit is eight hours), with a one-hour break in between, and shifts are fixed once a month; payday is the 22nd of the following month.

The salary is mainly composed of "basic salary, overtime salary, and overproduction bonus in the workshop". The basic salary is 2,100 yuan, which is about 12 yuan per hour based on 21.75 days per month. The overtime on weekdays is 1.5 times, 2 times on weekends, and 3 times on statutory holidays. The overproduction bonus ranges from a few hundred yuan to 2,000 yuan. Calculated as working 10 hours a day, the monthly salary of the operator is about 7,000 yuan, while the monthly income of skilled positions such as forklifts and fitters can exceed 10,000 yuan.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the Zhengzhou base, BYD also held two on-site job fairs in Xiaomo Town, Shenzhen-Shantou Special Cooperation Zone in August, recruiting more than 300 skilled workers for the automotive accessories factory of the 11th Division of the Shenzhen-Shantou BYD Automotive Industrial Park Phase II project, providing employment opportunities for the local area. The recruitment involved positions such as product assemblers, injection molders, surface treatment workers, coating workers, and glue sprayers, with monthly wages of 6,000 to 10,000 yuan, and provided accommodation, welfare canteens, etc.

The second phase of BYD Automotive Industrial Park in Shenzhen-Shantou, with an investment of 20 billion yuan, has achieved single-shift production in some factories, and the remaining plots are being accelerated, urgently needing a large number of skilled workers to expand production. The industrial park is expected to provide 36,000 jobs.

The "Manufacturing Talent Development Planning Guide" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that by 2025, the talent gap in my country's new energy vehicle industry will reach 1.03 million. Among them, the field of new energy vehicle maintenance will face a talent gap of 80%. From the specific recruitment needs, the demand for technical workers is the largest, followed by sales, service personnel, and engineers.

Many senior executives of auto companies in the industry have previously spoken out about the talent gap in new energy vehicles reaching 1.03 million.Great Wall MotorsPresident Mu Feng wrote that he has seen many friends say that the automotive industry is short of people, and the shortage is of grassroots operators, but in fact this understanding is rather one-sided. Because under the industry trend of new energy, all companies are striving to seek technological innovation and optimization. For example, the improvement of charging efficiency and the optimization of algorithms for intelligent driving require talents in related fields. At the same time, there is also a large demand for talents in extended positions.

ZeekrYang Dacheng, vice president of intelligent technology, said that more and more automotive jobs will be created and the talent gap will only get bigger.NIOVice President Shen Fei believes that the talent gap in new energy vehicles is far more than 1.03 million people, and the most lacking is cross-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary talents.Equation LeopardXiong Tianbo, general manager of the business unit, said that as China's new energy vehicles develop, while it brings opportunities to the industry, the talent gap has also become a challenge.

Filling the talent gap in new energy vehicles requires joint efforts from all sectors of society. In addition to car companies, many cities including Chongqing, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou have introduced relevant support policies in recent years to meet the employment needs of new energy vehicle talents, such as formulating the "Bay Area Standard" in the automotive field to promote the exchange of skilled talents, guiding universities to serve industrial development, etc., covering front-end talent training to back-end talent introduction, and looking for new talents for new energy vehicles.
