Gotion Inc. yesterday announced it has already received 350 job applications for the first nine jobs at the company and the interview process has begun.

Gotion Inc. announced nine new job openings a little over two weeks ago and clearly stated that applicants who live within a 25-mile radius of the planned facility would be given first consideration, as outlined in an agreement reached with Gotion Inc. and Green Charter Township Supervisor Jim Chapman. 

“We have received hundreds of resumes from area residents who are excited to be part of the first and most strategic positions hired by Gotion Inc.,” said Chuck Thelen, vice president of Gotion Inc. – North American Manufacturing. “The ‘Gotion effect’ is real and continues to gain momentum across our region because we are giving people an opportunity for good-paying jobs with a tremendous benefits package.”

Gotion Inc. has been conducting interviews for positions that include financial controlling specialist, human resources specialist, purchasing/logistics, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, executive assistant, construction management, and IT specialist.

Michigan Works! West Central, which serves employers and job seekers in Lake, Mason, Mecosta, Newaygo, Oceana, and Osceola counties, is helping coordinate the hiring process.
