Jaguar Land Rover has announced it is to create 600 jobs with the majority to be based at its development centre in Warwickshire.
The news follows the £700 million investment a few weeks ago when the brands were bought by India’s top vehicle maker, Tata Motors for £1.2 million.
The recruitment drive is designed to attract engineers to develop new technology aimed at reducing vehicle emissions.
Furthermore, Jaguar Land Rover is introducing a graduate programme for over 80 graduates who will join the business in the autumn.
The graduates will be involved in a number of activities and events over their 2-year development period, while at the same time integrating themselves into their chosen department.
Commenting on the recruitment drive, newly-appointed CEO David Smith, said the new jobs demonstrate Jaguar Land Rover’s confidence in our future.
The company is entering an exciting era with new models and ambitious technologies. This is a great time to be a part of the British car industry and is an exciting time for Jaguar Land Rover, added Mr Smith.
Jaguar Land Rover’s HR Director, Des Thurlby, added that the company has a bright future and is a very attractive place to work for the best in our industry here in the UK.
The company has locations at Solihull and Castle Bromwich in the West Midlands, Whitley in Coventry, Gaydon in Warwickshire and Halewood in Merseyside.
