Romanian state-owned coal-based electricity producer Energy Complex (EC) Oltenia is hiring personnel under contracts for a pre-determined period in order to extract more coal and increase its electricity production.
The statement from the company said that in order to increase the production of electricity, it will employ a number of 600 workers for positions of locksmiths, electricians and welders to partake mining activities, for a determined period until 31 December 2022.
