Amazon Inc. is set to open its newest fulfillment center in the United Kingdom, and with this, the company just created about 2,000 new jobs for the locals. The £450 million state-of-the-art facility is located in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, and it will officially open its doors in October.
Amazon said on Tuesday, July 18, that it will hire people as it needs new workers for its fulfillment center. Initially, it will only employ 1,000 staff and will gradually add more staff later as required when the activities at the hub build-up, as per Reuters.
The new hiring for 2,000 workers comes just several months after the company laid off about 1,200 people after it closed down three of its old warehouses in the U.K. The facilities were shut in January, and employees were given the chance to transfer to other divisions at that time. In any case, the soon-to-open fulfillment center will be Amazon’s fourth in the region and will increase England’s total workforce to 6,000.
BBC News reported that Amazon’s new facility measures 464,000 square feet, and it is one of the three new warehouses which the company is building in the territory. The company has started its recruitment for IT professionals, finance specialists, health and safety managers, human resource managers, and team members who will pack and ship orders in the warehouse.
While human hands are still needed in the advanced fulfillment center, Amazon’s new building is filled with customized robots. Each of the three floors features the latest automated technology to make the jobs faster and easier for the staff.
“I am delighted to announce Amazon’s continued investment in the North East of England with the opening of a new fulfillment center in Stockton-on-Tees, creating 2,000 new permanent jobs,” Amazon’s regional director, Marianna Desai, said in a statement. “I look forward to recruiting talented individuals in a diverse range of roles, from engineers and IT professionals through to the teams who will handle customer orders.”
