Employment Analysis and Job Trends An analysis of job postings from the past several years reveals that the financial industry is focusing on "expanding process facilities" and "strengthening R&D capabilities." Production/Manufacturing Process Management: Hiring of on-site production and process control engineers is most frequent due to increased operating rates at the Yeosu headquarters plant. Research and Development (R&D): We are continuously recruiting master's and doctoral-level chemistry/chemical engineering professionals to develop new recipes for secondary battery conductive materials and semiconductor cleaning solutions. Quality Control (QC/QA): Due to the nature of high-purity chemical products, personnel operating analytical equipment (GC, HPLC, etc.) for strict quality analysis are required. Environment/Safety (EHS): As a chemical handling business, the proportion of environmental experts and industrial safety managers employed is high.
For new employees, the starting salary is set at a higher level than the industry average (approximately 42 million won or more).
