The billion dollar expansion of Albemarle’s Kemerton lithium hydroxide processing plant in Western Australia’s south-west is fuelling a recruitment drive by the company.

Albemarle will host an exhibit at the 2023 Careers Expo as part of its search for future employees. The expo will run at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre from 18–21 May with a focus on career pathways and recruitment opportunities.

Albemarle Country Manager Beverley East said the Kemerton expansion would create over 1000 construction jobs and more than 370 additional operations roles when completed.

“Albemarle is already a major South West employer, having created the nation’s most advanced downstream critical mineral manufacturing facility near Bunbury,” Ms East said.

“The significant investment to build two additional processing trains at the plant highlights the critical role of Australia in the lithium supply chain and the long-term benefits for local economies, including jobs.

“It also provides a fantastic opportunity to work for a global producer of lithium and contribute to the green energy transition to produce a brighter future and more resilient world.”

Ms East said the company offered a range of direct employment opportunities including advanced manufacturing, health and safety, logistics and procurement.

Albemarle will also undertake recruitment through its upcoming apprenticeship, graduate, and undergraduate program intakes in 2024.
