Jaguar Land Rover has announced plans to create 1,000 new jobs at its Halewood Operations manufacturing facility, near Liverpool in the UK.
The positions, which will support the ongoing significant demand for the Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Freelander 2, will take the workforce at Halewood to almost 4,500 - treble the number employed there just three years ago. Halewood will be moved to three shifts and 24-hour operation to meet increased global demand for the company’s products.
Jaguar Land Rover HR Director, Des Thurlby, said "These 1,000 new jobs are further evidence of JLR's clear ambition for continued growth".
The new jobs will include production operators, supervisors and engineers. The company added that all new employees joining the production line will receive training towards an Intermediate (Level 2) Apprenticeship.
“JLR’s supply chain is also set to benefit, with thousands more jobs expected to be created,” he added. “Our commitment to expand the Halewood workforce and increase production is great news for JLR, for Merseyside and for the wider UK economy.”
