Those interested will get the chance to have a look around its Galgorm factory, speak to managers and the HR team about potential career opportunities.
“We’ve taken on a number of new staff so far this year, which is fantastic - but we still have roles available that we need to fill,” said Wrightbus HR director, Nicola McCloskey.
“Our staff work in great conditions on some of the world’s leading zero emission technology, which is helping to make a real difference to climate change.
“We’re especially keen to get more women into the workforce, as most of the interest we’ve had to date has been from men. I think there’s a bit of a misconception that the work we do here is all very physically demanding, but we’ve got many different roles across the factory.
“We’d encourage anyone interested in joining us to pre-book a slot. All our jobs will be posted on the company’s website and social media accounts.”
The event takes place from 5.30-7.30pm on Thursday March 31. Half hour slots are available to pre-book at https://wrightbus.eventbrite.co.uk/
