Volvo Group aims to employ at least 250 engineers from all over the globe in order to improve the efforts of the company in terms of research and technology development.
With an objective of improving research activities, Volvo started out a recruitment campaign that will assist it in hiring reliable engineers.
“This is just the beginning of a recruitment period that will last several years, which is attributable to our extensive investments - mainly within environmentally related research and technology development,” says Volvo Vehicle Research and Development Senior Vice President Anders Ydergård.
The recruitment group created by Volvo has already started enlisting 75 fresh graduates in France and Sweden. The fields of expertise of these new engineers are industrial design, electronics, and mechanics. Moreover, 175 experienced engineers from India, France, United States and Sweden will be employed.
“Volvo 3P is a global organization working with cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions for the Volvo Group’s truck business. Today, our global product development employs 2,600 engineers and our extensive investments – mainly within environmentally related research and technology development – create the need for this global recruitment campaign,” Ydergård said.
“It is crucial that we ensure our long-term competence with a high proportion of developers with a university degree. Through employing newly graduated engineers, we secure the latest in expertise in our key areas as well as increase the number of potential future leaders,” explained Ydergård.
