MIAMI -

It’s yet another example of the auto industry’s efforts to attract qualified technicians to its workforce.

In advance of the company’s opening later this fall of a new North Miami headquarters and showroom, Warren Henry Auto Group is seeking to recruit almost 50 qualified technicians on the spot by hosting an automotive technician job fair.

The South Florida-based, family-owned company plans to double in size and create around 150 to 200 new jobs.  At the job fair, the auto group will provide new hires with a hard-hat tour of the headquarters and showroom set to open this fall.

The job fair will take place on Monday from noon to 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Kovens Conference Center at Florida International University’s Biscayne Bay Campus. The site is located at 3000 N.E. 151st St. in North Miami.

Warren Henry Auto Group is promoting itself to prospective job candidates, noting that it offers “competitive salaries and excellent benefits”, and it was listed for five years in a row among Automotive News’ “Best Dealerships to Work For.” 

“Experienced automotive technicians are encouraged to attend the job fair with their most recent resume in hand and be prepared to be interviewed and potentially hired the same day,” the company writes. 

Its new 800,000-square-foot headquarters will be home to Jaguar, Land Rover, Infiniti and Koenigsegg. It will also feature amenities such as what it describes as the nation’s largest electric vehicle charging facility, South Florida’s largest frameless hurricane-resistant storefront glass panel, 82 service bays in an air-conditioned service shop, on-site detailing, and a gourmet cafe and rooftop event space.

The facility is located within a $4 billion SoLe Mia development and includes more than 220,000 square feet of office space and approximately 500,000 square feet of retail and entertainment space, along with residences, a 37-acre public park, and lagoons and beaches.
