Bentley Motors is creating over 140 new jobs at its headquarters in Crewe, including 90 skilled engineers and 51 new apprentices, the biggest single apprentice intake in 10 years.

The 90 new engineers will work on an expanding model range, as part of an £800m investment over three years on model and facility development. This will be in a number of engineering areas, including chassis, powertrain, electrical, body and trim, and whole vehicle disciplines.

In addition to these engineering roles, Bentley will recruit 51 new apprentices in the 2014 intake. Forty of these will be part of a new dedicated manufacturing scheme focused on strengthening core skills, as Bentley builds up to the introduction of the Bentley SUV in 2016.

Bentley’s new manufacturing apprentice approach sees the introduction of dual education; this is a tailored method to vocational training based on competence profiles and dedicated placements within chosen professional areas in manufacturing.

Recruitment for these positions is now open through Bentley's careers website.
