A staffing company brought in by Volkswagen to fill 300 contract slots at the automaker’s new Chattanooga plant is ready to start hiring.
Aerotek is seeking to immediately fill positions to support production of the 2012 Passat, said Jim Campione, director of client delivery for Aerotek’s automotive staffing division.
Aerotek officials have said it plans to complete the hiring by the end of the year. VW now has more than 1,700 workers at the $1 billion plant and plans to have up to 2,500 when the factory is fully operational next year.
Campione has said the starting wage for assembly workers is $12.50 an hour. That compares with starting wages of $14.50 per hour for VW production workers.
