Aerotek Inc., a provider of recruiting and staffing services, announced Wednesday that it is seeking to fill hundreds of production positions in Chattanooga. The openings support the growth of Aerotek’s partner Volkswagen.
New Aerotek team members will work in a climate controlled environment where they will be responsible for manufacturing the Volkswagen Passat and new SUV. The environment is fast-paced and deadline-intensive.
Successful applicants should hold a high school diploma and be detail-oriented with the ability to operate quickly and accurately. Contract employees are eligible for Aerotek’s benefits.
