Anyone work at JLR?
Discussion
Auto industry always pays naff rates, its why I never bother looking at them. Unfortunately the pool they are recruiting from includes aerospace, space and these days Oil&Gas. Aerospace and space PA is about £35/hr on average, O&G pays about £50/hr on average. In the QA/PA world the processes are all fairly similar with about 80% cross over so there is a fair movement between them. The only auto job Ive even contemplated recently was last yr with the Merc F1 boys to be their Quality Manager but I was still too expensive for them.
So yes when your pool rate is averaging double what you are paying then you are going to struggle to fill the roles.

I did a contract QE role in McLaren cars for a while. They were employing cheap foreign (Pilipino, Portuguese and Australian on a temp visa) as they couldn’t get people (apart from me 8() on at the rates they were paying.

After I left, may be 6 months later, I phoned my old boss as I really fancied doing the P1, and he just straight out told me they couldn’t afford me, and I was right at the bottom possible wage that you would ever even consider as a contractor.

I'm sorry if I come across as arrogant, but I really think it's insulting.
Why should you be insulted by someone advertising a low rate? If they'd specifically said that's all you in particular were worth it would be a different story.Clearly they're not asking for the going rate though. I notice that a lot of my old colleagues that jumped ship to JLR have left again.
What's the pay like for Chassis engineers or Powertrain engineers these days working for the likes of Bentley / Aston Martin / Lotus / Jaguar / McLaren ?
What about at BMW M / Porsche ? Is it hard to get a job with BMW or Porsche these days ?
Do these companies recruit heavily from the likes of Imperial College Mech Eng etc ?
Thank you very much in advance :-)

What would you expected Ltd rates to be for expereinced Manufacturing/Production/Quality Engineers to be? I'm paying way more than the rates above!

Into the £30's depending on the conditions. Lots of travel means a bit more. The big factor as well as the rate is the hours involved and if they are capped or un capped.As a contract Quality Engineer, I wouldnt look at £25/hour even if it was uncapped hours, right no my doorstep and had no stress.
