Jaguar and Land Rover creates 600 jobs
Despite the constant worries in the UK of the credit crunch that we are in, Jaguar Land Rover has announced that it is launching a major recruitment drive to attract up to 600 new employees.
The company is looking to recruit engineers to work on new technology and product development programmes. There are also a significant number of key vacancies in purchasing, finance and human resources.
Jaguar Land Rover is investing £700m 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.
The recruitment drive comes as the business transitions to new ownership. Jaguar is experiencing a surge in worldwide sales thanks in part to the award winning XF saloon and Land Rover, which has achieved three successive years of record sales, has recently revealed the forward looking and critically acclaimed LRX Concept.
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."
