Jaguar Land Rover to create 600 jobs

Midland based Jaguar Land Rover will create 600 jobs throughout its departments, including a Graduate scheme which will employee over 80 candidates, from September.

Jaguar Land Rover was brought from Ford for £1.2m, and since then Tata, the new owners, have injected £700m into the brands.

The move comes after a major decision by Tata to increase development of new technology designed to decrease emissions on a major scale.

Jaguar Land Rover covers a range of sites across the Midlands, although the main emissions development will be occurring at its plant in Gaydon, Warwickshire.

The jobs available won’t just be engineering related though, with vacancies available for the likes of purchasing, finance and human resources departments, across the company.

Sites across the UK include the main plant at Lode Lane, Solihull; Castle Bromwich; Whitley in Coventry; Gaydon in Warwickshire and Halewood in Merseyside.

Collectively the UK plants employee over 16,000 staff, a number which looks like it will continue to grow.

The company announced a consecutive 3 year record of unit sales, which has shown no signs of slowing down, especially with the likes of the Jaguar XF saloon worldwide sales booming.
