GM engine facility adding workers

General Motors’ Spring Hill plant will add about 100 jobs at its engine facility to meet increasing demand for the Ecotec 2.5 liter, 4-cyclinder motor, according to a company spokesperson.

Kristy Bergstrom, GM Spring Hill Manufacturing spokesperson, said the facility will add a second shift to meet the demand. The production will increase in phases during the next year, Bergstrom said.

“Engine line openings will be filled by current Spring Hill complex employees,” Bergstrom said. “Any additional jobs will be filled with external candidates via a pre-populated applicant pool over the course of 2014.”
