Some 1,800 new staff will join the company in germany by the end of 2011, mainly working at its headquarters and in development. Another 1,700 will take up new jobs in BMW Group facilities abroad.

“In addition, as we prepare for the future, we are focusing on taking on specialists and engineers who will work in future technologies.” As well as seeking specialists in the fields of electrical engineering and lightweight body construction, the BMW Group is recruiting IT specialists and software engineers, Krüger explained ahead of the Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA).
“We offer highly attractive programmes for young people wanting to train with us and good opportunities for those wishing to become employees directly,” Krüger said.
Some 1,200 new recruits will take up their jobs in Munich. Another recruitment hotspot will be BMW Plant Leipzig, where production of its first all-electric series vehicle, the BMW i3, is set to begin in 2013.
