VW to hire for Tennessee plant
Volkswagen will start accepting applications Oct. 26 for about 1,200 production jobs at its new plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., with the first hiring set early next year.
Ryan Rose, a spokesman for the $1-billion plant where workers will build a new midsize sedan starting in 2011, said applicants from the Chattanooga area will get priority in the first phase of the screening, a day of hands-on testing that simulates the workplace.
“Our hope is we are going to find everyone we need right here in Chattanooga and the area,” Rose said Friday.
Starting pay for the body and paint shop, welding and assembly jobs is $14.50 per hour, increasing to $19.50 per hour over three years, in addition to health insurance and other benefits, a statement says. Rose said that is competitive for the area.
