Along with West AlabamaWorks!, the hiring fair will aim to help the German automaker keep up with growing demand for its Alabama-made vehicles, in addition to the new electric vehicles and electric batteries for its products that have recently been introduced.

“MBUSI has on-boarded hundreds of direct hires over the last 6 months and still has several hundreds more Team Members to hire,” said Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama Chief Operating Officer and West Alabama Works Executive Director Donny Jones.

MBUSI Human Resources Specialist for Mechatronics Technical Programs Wade Smith said the company's production continues to accelerate and evolve, which prompted MBUSI to focus on growing its team.

“I’ve been here 27 years and I wouldn’t change a thing. MBUSI is seeking to reach workers with production experience, especially those in the auto industry, and less-experienced workers who have completed manufacturing training programs," Smith said.
