OREANDA-NEWS. September 07, 2010. From the beginning of September, KAMAZ plants, production units and services resumed employment of workers, engineers and technicians.

This news was announced by Maria Sivko, Director of Department of Labour Relationship and Personnel Development of OJSC KAMAZ, at a press conference for the media of Naberezhnye Chelny today. She noted that it had become possible due to growing production volumes and sales of KAMAZ’s main products – trucks and spare parts.

A lot of received orders to execute till the end of this year made it necessary to regularly increase the number of employees at the main plants and production units. Thus, for instance, the automobile plant, KAMAZ’s finishing production, is ready to employ about 300 people: metalworkers for a machine-assembly department, machine setup men and machine operators, electricians, loader operators and truckers, metal painters, QC checkers and progressmen. 250 people are wanted for Kama Press and Stamping Plant: besides people with versatile all-factory professions, the enterprise is in want of an additional inflow of crane operators, welders and stampers. There are more than 100 vacancies at the foundry of KAMAZ-Metallurgy OJSC. The main professionals needed there are founders and fettlers, loader operators, welders and metalworkers.

Maria Sivko also informed that Research and Development Center, design and engineering services of KAMAZ and its subdivisions will readily take on their staff experienced designers and engineers who proved to be good.

Working at KAMAZ is now prestigious thanks to stability and permanently growing wages. This May the company’s production units and services switched over to a five-day working week, and during last months there was no, even short-term, idle time. KAMAZ employees’ average wage grew from 11 to 16 thousand roubles for this period. On 1 September all employees’ rates and wages were raised by 5%.

Last week KAMAZ’s staff resumed working after the annual corporative paid leave. Next August will also be off. At multiple requests of employees who have children of school age, the corporative leave may be shifted one week forward, so that parents could get their children ready for school on 1 September.
