Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation of America, (YMMC) is immediately hiring over 300 new contract employees to assist in many assembly line functions to help keep pace with the growing demand for all Yamaha recreational products assembled at its Newnan, Georgia facility.
Based in Coweta County, Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corp of America (YMMC) designs and assembles four key product lines including Golf Cars, All Terrain Vehicles (ATV’s), Personal Watercraft and Recreational Off-road Vehicles (ROV’s), or what many refer to as Side-by-Side vehicles.
Yamaha’s last hiring push was just over a month ago, and over 100 employees were added to the team at that time. Now more people are needed. “Demand for our products has stayed incredibly strong. People are foregoing travel and choosing to find fun close to home. That means they are buying all the recreational and water sports vehicles that we make right here in Newnan, Georgia,” said Bob Brown, Vice President of Finance and Operations Support.
“We are gearing up now for an incredible 2021, which means we need more people to add to our motivated, diverse, and talented team. Our products provide a lifetime of exciting and memorable experiences to our customers and we give a lifetime of stability and support for our team. Everybody wins.”
“Yamaha has produced almost 4 million power sports recreation vehicles in our 32 years, this location,” said Richard Jones, Vice President of Operations.
He continued, “Our greatest hiring need is vehicle assembly. Every Yamaha assembly worker starts through our contract partner at $13 an hour. At 30 days, team members are eligible for full Yamaha hire. Pay jumps immediately to $15 and soon thereafter to $18 an hour. Yamaha benefits are extraordinary. Full healthcare, medical, dental, vision, profit sharing, 401k with company match. 10 paid vacation days, 10 paid holidays per year. Yamaha is a diverse and dynamic corporation with over 1500 employees. We have limitless opportunities through our weekly job posting system and career assistance.”
What do Yamaha employees say about the opportunities? “I started at a basic level at Yamaha as a material handler and now, I’m in the front office as a new model planner. So, the opportunities are astronomical. You can keep climbing as long as you’re here at Yamaha,” said Chris McGarrity, Yamaha employee for eight years.
Right now, Yamaha is also offering over $1300 in bonuses for contract employees in their first six months. Yamaha is looking to fill open positions for assemblers, material handlers, welders, certified forklift operators, and more.
