Tesla's new Gigafactory is looking for employees primarily in the manufacturing sector, such as automotive technicians or toolmakers, as well as engineers and programmers - all full-time.
Many positions are also being filled in the areas of human resources (HR), supply chain or legal and government affairs.
The language skills required vary widely for the jobs, with some requiring both fluent English and German, and some one or the other. Polish was also sometimes listed as a language, considering the site’s relatively close proximity to Poland.
In September 2020, Tesla boss Elon Musk made a personally call-out for applicants.

In the Gigafactory, the first e-vehicles are to roll off the assembly line as early as summer 2021. Musk wants to have the popular Tesla model 3, the SUV model Y and batteries produced there.
In an interview with the Handelsblatt, Brandenburg's Minister of Economics Jörg Steinbach recently announced that up to 40,000 jobs will be created in the Gigafactory in the long term. Initially, around 12,000 new employees in production and administration are planned.
On Friday, Grünheide - about 30 kilometres southwest from the centre of Berlin - was named one of the top 10 areas expected to expand the most in terms of economic prosperity and housing by 2030, according to forecast from research institute Prognos.
