Automotive design and engineering consultancy to create 125 jobs

Automotive design and engineering consultancy Contechs has unveiled plans to build new design offices and create more than 125 new jobs as its global business booms.

Contechs plans to build a new two-storey design office next to Grand Union House – the company’s global headquarters in Budbrooke Road, Warwick.

It is also recruiting more than 125 designers and design engineers, which will bring its headcount to almost 1000.

The new building will provide almost 2,800 sq ft of office space, with meeting rooms and associated facilities.

Contechs group managing director Peter Jarvis said the investment in premises and people would enhance the company’s services to its growing global portfolio of vehicle makers.

“This has been a period of impressive growth for Contechs across the world, which has allowed us once again to increase our expanding highly-skilled workforce and invest in our site in Warwick. This investment will further strengthen our market leading position in this competitive sector,” he said.
