PRINCETON, IN (WFIE) -

Toyota Indiana has announced the addition of 60 new production positions.  The full-time positions will be offered to members currently employed through Aerotek as part of Toyota's variable work force.

"This announcement is a vote of confidence from Toyota Motor Corporation in the abilities of our team members and this plant," said Norm Bafunno, TMMI's President.  In February 2012, Toyota announced the expansion of the Highlander SUV production to include a hybrid version, as well as export versions for Russia and Australia.  This expansion will result in an additional $400 million investment and 400 jobs at the Indiana plant.

Applicants interested in Aerotek production positions can apply at www.aerotekin.com.  Skilled maintenance positions are also available and can be viewed at www.toyota.com/jobs.
