Luxury carmaker JLR is recruiting 250 electrification engineers to work at two of its sites.
The engineers will be based at factories in Gaydon and Whitley in the West Midlands, working on the next generation of pure electric vehicles launching by 2030.

Thomas Mueller, JLR executive director of product engineering, said: “As we continue to invest in our facilities, we are now seeking very talented people to help us develop advancements in propulsion technology that will underpin our next generation modern luxury vehicles.”
