Why TSA is growing
Until now, TSA made only about a fifth to a quarter of its motor sheets in-house. With the new plant, it will make all of them itself. Once the second machine arrives next year, the site should produce around five million sheets a year. The company says this will also save about 200 tonnes of CO₂ every year.
The new plant is part of a wider plan known as "TSA-City", with four production halls on the site. Demand for electric rail and bus motors is rising across Europe as cities expand public transport.
Which jobs to expect
TSA did not list the 100 new posts. Its current careers page shows openings such as metalworking apprentices and quality management staff. Growth at a motor factory usually means roles like:
- Machine operators and CNC/press technicians
- Electrical and mechanical engineers
- Quality inspectors and quality engineers
- Maintenance technicians
- Apprentices in metal and electrical trades
Working in Austria from abroad
EU citizens can work in Austria freely. Non-EU skilled workers often use the Red-White-Red Card, which needs a job offer and enough points for qualifications, experience, age and language. Shortage trades such as technicians and engineers can qualify. German language skills make a big difference, as most adverts at TSA are in German.
