Intel wants to significantly expand new hiring for its planned chip factories in Magdeburg from 2025. A total of 3,000 jobs will be created at the start of production, the responsible manager for human resources at Intel, Bernd Holthaus, quotes “Münchner Merkur” . About 70 percent of positions, or about 2,100 jobs, were in occupations with a primarily technical focus.
Electrical system installers, but also automotive mechatronics engineers and air conditioning technicians are particularly in demand. According to the human resources manager, Intel is also looking for around 900 employees with higher education. The range of relevant courses varies from electrical engineering and industrial engineering to physics and chemistry.
The North American group is currently planning two chip factories in Magdeburg. Total investment costs are around 30 billion euros. The first chips will be produced in the state capital of Saxony-Anhalt from 2027. In addition to jobs in the factories themselves, companies and the country expect thousands more jobs at suppliers and in other industries.
