Jaguar Land Rover create 600 jobs
The car industry is fighting back against the credit crunch as Jaguar Land Rover has announced that 600 new jobs will be created at its plants.
The focus of the campaign will be to recruit engineers to work on exciting new technology and product development programmes. There are also a significant number of key vacancies in purchasing, finance and human resources.
Nearly £700m will be invested in sustainable technologies to improve the environmental performance of its vehicles and is looking for experienced, degree educated engineers to work within the product development function on a variety of ground-breaking projects.
In addition, Jaguar Land Rover is launching a brand new graduate programme for over 80 graduates who will join the business in September. Graduates will participate in a number of activities and events over their two-year development period while at the same time integrating themselves into their chosen department.
Announcing the scheme, newly appointed Jaguar Land Rover CEO David Smith said: “This recruitment drive demonstrates Jaguar Land Rover’s confidence in our future. With our new owners, we have entered an exciting era with stunning new models and ambitious technologies. I can’t remember a better time to be part of the British car industry, and certainly it is a brilliant time for Jaguar Land Rover.”
