Auto manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has announced it will create 1,100 new jobs at its Castle Bromwich, Birmingham facility – bringing the total number of jobs the company has created in the last two years to 2,000.
JLR HR director Des Thurlby calls this “the most ambitious recruitment campaign in the company’s history”, accounting for a third of its UK workforce of nearly 24,000 people.Today’s new jobs are for production operators who will be assembling the final vehicles, all various Jaguar models, a spokesperson tells Recruiter, and online applications opened this morning at 8am via the company’s careers site.
As previously assessed by recruiter.co.uk and industry stakeholders, the good news here is not confined to JLR and its would-be employees alone.
When JLR announced 1,000 new jobs at its Halewood, Merseyside facility in March, Recruiter reported that estimates suggest around 7.5 supply chain jobs are created for every one at an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) such as JLR itself, and that around 60% of suppliers to the company are UK-based.
