Medtronic Hiring 1400 Workers For New Texas Diabetes Facility
May 12, 2009 by admin
Boston (HealthKnowItAll) - Medical device maker Medtronic have announced their intent to hire an additional 1400 jobs in the near future.
The company will be opening another plant, focusing on diabetes research, thus the addition of the 1400 employees.
The jobs will primarily be in the field of customer service and education, and will be based in Texas.
Not long ago, the company laid off workers in the field of cardiac research, thus some analysts are surprised that they are now hiring again.
The new 150,000 square foot facility is scheduled to open later this summer, and the company is said to be currently recruiting to fill job openings.
The facility will be put to good use, pumping out insulin pumps and diabetes monitors.
“We’re moving into a facility that addresses our five-year growth targets,” said Medtronic spokesman Steve Sabicer.
