Luxury car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover has begun the first phase of its 1,700-job recruitment drive, announced last year.

Hiring for the new jobs will be conducted in three phases to support future growth and investment plans on site.

The first phase will recruit more than 500 semi-skilled production operator jobs to support the production of new vehicles.

The next two phases will open later this year and early in 2015, and will take the sites’ headcount to almost 8,000. In the last two years 3,000 new jobs have been created at the Solihull plant in West Midlands

All new recruits will undertake a structured training programme, which includes working towards an NVQ II qualification in business improvement techniques.

Alan Volkaerts, operations director at Jaguar Land Rover, says: “To continue producing vehicles and investing in manufacturing technology, we need to source the best candidates.

“Our recruitment drive reinforces our commitment to the UK automotive industry which also benefits the wider supply chain and overall UK economy.”

A dedicated recruitment portal, Jaguar Land Rover careers, has been designed to manage the recruitment process where applicants can view available vacancies and apply online from yesterday (17 February).
