Telford factory jobs on offer at open day
Dozens of jobs at Shropshire's most high-profile new factory are to be on show at an open day being held next month.
Cosma Casting, part of Magna International, is due to open a new 225,000 square foot aluminium casting facility at Stafford Park in Telford this autumn. The development will create 300 jobs in its initial phase.
Telford College is to host a two-day recruitment event on September 8 and 9 at its Haybridge Road campus in Wellington, when the company will be looking to fill dozens of posts.
Craig Howard, business development manager at the college, said: “A wide range of job opportunities will be on offer, including production operatives, laboratory technicians, tool makers, and maintenance staff.
“The company is also looking for quality engineers, metrologists, materials planners, laboratory supervisors, and much more.
“This event will be a fantastic opportunity to secure a job with what will become one of Shropshire’s largest manufacturing facilities.”
Cosma’s Telford factory will be supplying aluminium castings for Jaguar Land Rover's assembly plant, which also uses engines made at the huge factory at i54, just off the M54.
The Canadian company is investing heavily in the factory, in what is thought to be one of the biggest manufacturing developments in the Midlands. The shell of the building has emerged on the town's landscape, and heavy machinery is now being installed ahead of the company moving in later this year.
The Telford College recruitment days will provide a chance for jobseekers to speak to representatives from the company, and its recruitment partner Randstad.
The Cosma management team will be holding a series of talks on both days, to give an in-depth perspective of the organisation and future career prospects for staff.
Doors will be open at Telford College’s Haybridge Road from 10am to 7pm on September 8, and 10am to 4pm on September 9.
Mr Howard added: “Whether you are employed and looking for a new challenge, or unemployed looking for a career opportunity, please come along and see us – whatever your skill level or experience is.”
