The Munich-based manufacturer of air craft turbines MTU Aero Engines announced it will create 500 new jobs in 2018. The steadily increasing demand makes additional personnel necessary. In the first quarter of 2018, MTU has already hired 200 new employees, increasing its total workforce to 9,036 by the end of March.
