Renault hires 300 engineers to test future Dacia models in Titu

Renault Technologie Roumanie (RTR), the technical centre of French-held Renault, will hire 300 engineers in Titu next year, where the new Dacia and Renault models are to be tested and validated. “We are hiring because the engineering centre in Titu will start to operate in the course of next year. The Titu centre is set to start operations in the second half of 2010,” Dana Opri[an, human resources manager of RTR, told ZF. RTR is one of the few employers that plan to create new jobs, whilst most companies froze recruitment given the unfavourable economic context. Around 2,200 employees work in the Bucharest, Pite[ti and Titu centres, with their number to reach 2,500 after the 300 planned recruitments planned occur. According to previous statements from RTR officials, entry-level employees are paid 400 euros per month, but wages vary based on several factors.
