Amazon to create 500 jobs at new Doncaster facility

Amazon is set to create 500 new jobs in Doncaster at a new warehouse in the town.

The new site, which will be located in Verdion’s £500m iPort logistics development, will be the online retail giant’s third site in Doncaster.

Due to open in summer 2017, new jobs will be created for operations managers and engineers, HR and IT specialists, and roles for people who will handle orders.

Amazon’s other two sites in the town are located on Water Vole Way, which only opened last September, and Balby Carr Bank which opened in 2010.

John Tagawa, Amazon’s vice president of UK operations, said: “We are delighted to announce that we will be creating 500 new permanent full-time jobs with competitive pay and comprehensive benefits starting on day one by opening our third fulfilment centre in Doncaster in summer 2017.

“We already have two fulfilment centres in Doncaster so know from experience that there is strong talent in the region who would be well suited to working for Amazon.”
