As 24sata/Martina Vidaic writes, one of the world’s largest providers of production solutions, the American company Jabil Inc., recently announced the construction of a new large center of excellence for production in the Croatian city of Osijek.
The completion of the construction of the production facility is scheduled for the beginning of 2024, and the brand new centre is expected to quickly become a key driver of the local economy, creating more than 1,500 new jobs for skilled workers. When the new centre of excellence for production starts operating, the American company Jabil will become one of the largest employers in all of Slavonia, and provide the local community with opportunities for both growth and development – the company’s press release states.
The American company Jabil was founded back in 1966 across the pond over in the USA, and currently has more than 250,000 employees working a hundred different locations in 30 countries, and they’ve now actively started looking for workers in and around Osijek. On their website Osijek Hiring – Jabil explains in detail who they are looking for and what they can offer them.
”Business expansion is a strategic decision that is in line with Jabil’s focus on long-term trends and growth in the areas of renewable energy, electric vehicles, healthcare, the 5G network and the Cloud. The new facility will be the very heart of Jabil’s ongoing commitment to innovation, sustainability and providing comprehensive manufacturing solutions to its customers,” said Gerald “JJ” Creadon, Jabil’s Executive Vice President of Operations.
They are also planning to open a factory for the production of medical prosthetic parts, microchips and motherboards for the automotive industry, which means a strong business momentum for that entire region.
”Recruitment of the workforce for the new centre of excellence for production in Osijek has already begun and will continue throughout 2023. Management and engineering positions are currently open, as well as a number of positions in operations, supply chain, finance and human resources. Our company is focused on the future and boasts a diverse portfolio of industrial operations. We’d like everyone interested to contact us, regardless of whether they have recently graduated or have years of work experience behind them,” stated Robin Forster, the senior director of regional human resources at Jabil.
