A recruitment drive is continuing through the New Year at Ballymena-based Wrightbus as it looks forward to a positive year ahead.
The world-leading bus manufacturer is looking to recruit to roles across the factory - including office-based roles, as it gets set to double production.
In 2021 the firm announced it was looking to recruit an additional 300 people as orders for its buses flooded in.
“There’s never been a more exciting time to join Wrightbus,” said MD, Neil Collins, who recently announced that output from the factory would double next year.
“Our buses are at the forefront of zero emission public transport and thanks to the fact that 70 per cent of our output will be hydrogen or electric battery buses next year, our workforce will have a direct impact on reducing the risks of climate change while working on new and emerging technology at the same time.
“We’re still seeking to employ an additional 150 people, with the prospect of additional roles becoming available as our production schedule increases.
“We have excellent, clean working conditions, great rates of pay and fantastic career progression opportunities for those who are interested”.
