Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hiring in Windsor.
The company’s website has postings for several different Windsor positions.
It is not known how many positions are available, but several Chrysler employees tell CTV News the union says up to 800 people will be hired.
“I can’t confirm or provide a number, in terms of how many people we will hire, nor can I provide specifics as to the jobs available,” says LouAnn Gosselin, FCA Canada head of communications.
Gosselin says the employee referral database from last year has been exhausted.
University of Windsor auto analyst Toni Faria says the openings are a great sign for the local economy, "Jobs at the Windsor assembly plant are great jobs. They are among some of the highest paying manufacturing jobs in the country."
He adds, "The industry is all the ways back, but jobs are not all the way back to where they were in 2007, before this downturn. So the companies have been very cautious in their hiring."
No job fair is planned at this time.
The Windsor Assembly Plant underwent a $2-billion, three-month long retooling earlier this year.
