Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has launched the first significant campaign to recruit 1,400 employees at its new Engine Manufacturing Centre based at the i54 South Staffordshire business park near Wolverhampton. The first phase will see the creation of in the region of 600 manufacturing roles at the plant in the next four years.
JLR is investing more than £500 million in the centre, bringing engine supply back to its production doorstep.
The new roles will be required to support the manufacture of JLR's new family of high technology, low emission engines. The team will be responsible for the assembly of engine components, operation of the plant's world class manufacturing equipment, supporting tool changes and material line feed.
Trevor Leeks, the centre's new operations director, said: "Our new Engine Manufacturing Centre is a significant strand of Jaguar Land Rover's global growth ambitions and it is critical that we have a world-class manufacturing team at the heart of our new plant."
The Engine Manufacturing Centre's team currently stands at around 100 people including 18 apprentices and 6 graduates. In addition to the manufacturing roles at the plant, there are also additional opportunities available in a range of engineering and supervisory roles.
