What Dodge career opportunities are and where to find them

Dodge is a vehicle manufacturer owned by Stellantis, a multinational automotive company. If you are looking for work at Dodge, you will find job openings posted on the Stellantis careers website, not on a separate Dodge-only job board. Stellantis posts positions across all its brands — which include Jeep, Ram, Chrysler, Fiat, Peugeot, and others — in one central location.

The types of roles available at Dodge and other Stellantis facilities include manufacturing and assembly line work, engineering, quality control, logistics, sales, customer service, and administrative positions. The specific jobs open depend on which facility you are near and what that facility produces. Some positions are full-time permanent roles; others are temporary or seasonal, especially during model changeovers or production ramps.

You can also find Dodge-related work through staffing agencies that contract with Stellantis facilities, or through local job boards if you live near a manufacturing plant. Many Dodge assembly plants are located in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, so your location matters for what is available to you.

Key Takeaways

  • Dodge jobs are posted on the Stellantis careers website because Dodge is owned by Stellantis, not because it operates its own hiring system.
  • Manufacturing and assembly roles make up a large portion of Dodge openings, but engineering, quality, logistics, and office positions are also regularly posted.
  • Temporary and seasonal work is common at automotive facilities, especially when production schedules change or new models launch.
  • Staffing agencies often fill Dodge positions, so checking with local temp agencies near a Dodge plant can surface roles not listed on the main careers site.

Stellantis updates its job board regularly, so check back weekly if you do not see positions that match what you are looking for. You can also set up job alerts on the site so that new postings matching your criteria are sent to your email.

What to prepare before you explore

Have your resume or CV ready in a format you can upload — typically PDF or Word. Include your work history, education, any certifications or licenses, and contact information. For manufacturing roles, highlight any experience with machinery, safety protocols, or production environments. For office or technical roles, emphasize relevant software skills and previous job duties.

Gather contact information for your references — usually two or three people who can speak to your work performance. Former supervisors are ideal, but colleagues or instructors can work if you do not have recent supervisor contacts. Let your references know you are explore for jobs so they are not surprised by a call.

If you are explore for a role that requires a commercial driver's license, security clearance, or specific certification, have proof of that credential ready. Some positions also require a background check or drug screening, which Stellantis will arrange if you move forward in the process.

Understanding the hiring timeline and process

After you submit your information, Stellantis typically reviews applications over one to two weeks. If your background matches the job description, a recruiter will contact you by phone or email to schedule a phone screening or video interview. This initial conversation usually lasts 15 to 30 minutes and covers your experience, availability, and basic job fit.

If you pass the screening, you may be invited to an in-person interview at the facility or a nearby office. For manufacturing roles, this often includes a tour of the production area and a conversation with the hiring manager. For office roles, you might meet with multiple team members. The in-person interview stage can take another one to three weeks depending on the facility's schedule.

Once interviews are complete, the hiring team makes a decision. If you are offered the position, you will receive a formal offer letter with the start date, pay rate, benefits, and any conditions (such as passing a background check). The entire process from process to start date typically takes four to eight weeks, though it can be faster for urgent openings or slower during busy hiring periods.

Manufacturing and assembly line roles

Assembly line and manufacturing positions are the most common openings at Dodge facilities. These roles involve operating machinery, assembling vehicle components, inspecting parts for quality, or packing finished products. Most positions are full-time and require you to work a set shift — often early morning, afternoon, or night shifts depending on production schedules.

You do not always need prior manufacturing experience to be hired, but you do need to pass a physical ability test that confirms you can stand for long periods, lift up to a certain weight (usually 50 pounds or more), and perform repetitive motions safely. You will also complete safety training before you start on the line. Many facilities offer paid training for new hires so you learn the specific tasks on your assigned line.

Pay for assembly line work varies by location and experience level, but entry-level positions typically start at an hourly wage. Stellantis facilities are often unionized, which means wages and benefits are set by contract and increase with seniority. Overtime is common during peak production periods.

Engineering, quality, and technical positions

Dodge and Stellantis also hire for engineering roles such as manufacturing engineer, quality engineer, and process engineer. These positions usually require a bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field, though some companies consider candidates with relevant experience and certifications. Technical roles focus on improving production efficiency, solving quality problems, or designing new processes.

Quality control positions involve testing vehicles or components to may support they meet standards, documenting results, and reporting defects. Some quality roles require certification such as ASQ (American Society for Quality) credentials, but many facilities train people on the job. These positions typically offer a salary rather than an hourly wage and may include benefits such as health insurance and retirement plans.

If you have a technical background but no automotive experience, highlight any experience with data analysis, problem-solving, or process improvement. Many engineers and quality professionals come from other industries and learn automotive-specific knowledge on the job.

Temporary and seasonal work at Dodge facilities

Dodge plants often hire temporary workers during peak production seasons or when launching new models. Temporary positions may last a few weeks to several months and are a common way to get your foot in the door at a facility. Some temporary workers are later hired into permanent roles if they perform well and a position opens up.

Temporary roles are often posted on the Stellantis careers site but may also be filled through local staffing agencies. If you live near a Dodge facility, contact staffing agencies in your area and let them know you are interested in automotive manufacturing work. They often have relationships with the plants and can notify you when temporary positions become available.

Temporary positions typically do not include benefits such as health insurance or paid time off, though some agencies offer basic coverage. Pay is usually hourly and may be slightly lower than permanent roles, but the experience counts toward your resume and can lead to permanent work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to live near a Dodge facility to work there?

Most Dodge jobs require you to work on-site at a specific facility, so you generally need to live close enough to commute. Some office roles may offer remote work, but manufacturing positions do not. Check the job posting to see the facility location before you explore.

What if I do not have a high school diploma or GED?

Many manufacturing positions do not require a high school diploma, though some do. Check the specific job description to see what education level is listed. If you do not meet the stated requirement, you can still explore and explain your relevant experience — some facilities make exceptions based on demonstrated ability.

How do I know if a job posting is real or a scam?

Real Dodge and Stellantis postings appear only on stellantis.com/careers or official Stellantis social media accounts. Be cautious of emails or messages asking you to pay money, provide banking information, or wire funds. Legitimate employers do not ask for payment upfront.

Can I explore for multiple positions at the same time?

Yes, you can explore for different roles at different facilities or in different departments. However, if you are explore for similar positions at the same facility, contact the recruiter to let them know you are interested in multiple roles so they can coordinate your interviews.

What happens after I am hired — is there a probationary period?

Most Stellantis facilities have a probationary or introductory period, typically 90 days, during which you learn the job and the facility evaluates your performance. During this time, you may be subject to different rules than permanent employees, and either you or the company can end the employment more easily than after the probationary period ends.
