Recruitment drive accelerates JLR’s Reimagine strategy
JLR is recruiting 150 technicians to accelerate its Reimagine strategy, which will see electric version of all its models available by 2030.
The company is recruiting 50 technicians for its Solihull plant to support the production of Range Rover Electric, which is launching later this year.
A further 100 roles will be created at its Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Centre (EMPC) in Wolverhampton.
With the site playing a key role within JLR’s UK industrial footprint, technicians will help maintain advanced machinery that is being used to build battery packs and Electric Drive Units (EDUs) for JLR’s next generation electric vehicles.
Nigel Blenkinsop, JLR executive director of industrial operations, said: “Investing in people and the latest technology is at the cornerstone of our Reimagine strategy.
“With the transformation of our factories of the future now well underway, we’re now looking for talented technicians with a passion for sustainable innovation to help support our growth.”
Meanwhile, as part of the company’s Future Skills Programme, JLR is also upskilling its workforce for electrification with more than 20,000 colleagues and partners now trained in electrification and digital skills.
This has been funded from an ongoing £3bn per year investment to transform its industrial footprint, vehicle programmes, autonomous, AI and digital technologies and people skills.
