With the development of photovoltaic and other new energy industries entering the “fast lane”, the demand for talents is also increasing. Recently, there has been a shortage of personnel in many photovoltaic enterprises. The workers of battery modules are “dissatisfied” and high-end talents need to be “robbed”.
professional workers cannot be recruited
high end talents rush to
After the Lantern Festival, in a photovoltaic cell production base in Xi’an, a job fair with a scale of more than 1000 people is under way.
A few months later, a new 15gw battery factory will be put into operation in this base, and more than 4000 jobs are expected to be recruited in the whole plant.
Among them, more than 1500 skilled workers are needed in the front line alone, mainly technicians with experience in battery manufacturing .
Wang Wei, senior manager of Human Resources Department of longkeeleye Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd.: the whole recruitment and technical work is still quite difficult. We have made a statistics, because there are basically no more than 30000 battery manufacturing technicians in all battery enterprises in China. Therefore, we need to recruit through various channels.
Not only is the supply of professional and technical workers in short supply, in the photovoltaic industry, the R & D and management personnel of high-end technical posts have also become the “sweet pastry” competed by major new energy enterprises. Such talents not only need interdisciplinary background knowledge, but also understand the overall design and operation and maintenance of the production line. The reporter learned that many enterprises rob people through the “price increase” of headhunting companies, and the competition for candidates among enterprises is also very common .
Feng Ning, chief business operation officer of a human resources group: talent shortage is still strong, and the salary increase in the previous industry was 5-10%, but now candidates with an annual salary of 300000 yuan are easy to get an annual salary of 45 China Fangda Group Co.Ltd(000055) 000 yuan.
Jiang Hua, Assistant Secretary General of China Photovoltaic Industry Association: the turnover rate of talents in the photovoltaic industry is 8.5%, which is relatively high. Some new companies often dig the whole technical team of the old company at once.
According to the data, in China’s photovoltaic industry, the annual demand for new talents is 93000, while the annual supply of new talents is only 40000. The talent supply is facing a huge gap .
employees are in urgent need of compound talents for the development of “difficult to match” industries
According to the prediction of China Photovoltaic Industry Association, the scale of photovoltaic market will accelerate in the next few years. The rapidly growing industrial scale also puts forward higher requirements for the training of relevant talents.
Chen Jingrun is a doctor majoring in chemical industry and industrial catalysis. Last year, I just joined a photovoltaic company from a traditional fossil energy company to be responsible for the application research and development of new projects. He told reporters that because there are too few people with real background in relevant majors and subdivided fields, there are not a few people who have the same “job hopping” experience as him in the whole project team.
Longi Green Energy Technology Co.Ltd(601012) senior chief engineer of Research Institute Chen Jingrun: many people are transformed from traditional energy, accounting for about one third.
It is understood that at present, Chinese universities do not set up direct photovoltaic majors, and the employees mainly come from materials, energy, applied physics and other majors . According to incomplete statistics, 91 colleges and universities specialized in new energy materials and devices have been opened in China, but compared with the demand, the number of college graduates who can be transported to the industry is still insufficient.
Tian Gaoliang, vice president of the school of management of Xi’an Jiaotong University: the large talent gap is mainly due to the disconnection between the whole talent training system and training concept of colleges and universities and the development of social economy.
Jiang Hua, Assistant Secretary General of China Photovoltaic Industry Association: due to the rapid progress of photovoltaic technology, the average conversion efficiency of battery industrialization is increasing at an average annual rate of 0.3% – 0.4%, and some old technologies are being phased out.
According to the analysis of insiders, the demand for talents in the photovoltaic industry will continue to increase year by year in the future. At the same time, with the integrated development of photovoltaic power generation and construction, transportation, agriculture and other fields, compound talents will be more scarce at the application level.
Longi Green Energy Technology Co.Ltd(601012) vice president Li Wenwen: if colleges and universities can better understand the application degree of front-end and the industrial technology degree of enterprises, it will adjust its professional direction and cultivate more people.
Wang Jianbo, vice president of zero carbon College of Lanzhou University: in the short term, there may be some shortage of talents in new energy, but I’m not too worried in the long term.
