FCA is extending the application window for the more than 11,000
pre-qualified Detroiters who want to work at the Company's new
assembly plant being built on the city's eastside. The deadline for
applications is now Sept. 29. The extension applies to
Detroiters who have already completed the Detroit at Work Job Readiness activities held
at over 300 events around the city since June.
"We decided to extend the application window to make sure that
all Detroit residents who are
already on the list have an additional opportunity to complete the
application process," said Mike
Lackaye, Head of Hourly Staffing, FCA. "Our intent has
always been to make sure that Detroit residents are considered first, and we
feel that this extension is important in achieving that
objective."
The application window initially opened on Aug. 26 to Detroit residents in the impact area, the
three zip codes surrounding the new plant. All other Detroiters
began applying on Sept. 9.
The Company is also currently hiring for salaried and skilled
trades positions. Available positions can be found at

FCA announced in February that it would invest $2.5 billion to convert the former Mack
Avenue Engine Complex into a new assembly plant and retool the
Jefferson North Assembly Plant, bringing nearly 5,000 new jobs to
the city to support production of the next-generation
Jeep® Grand Cherokee, as well as an all-new three-row
full-size Jeep SUV and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models. When the new
facility opens in late 2020, it will be the first new assembly
plant in Detroit in nearly 30
years.
