Bolton Essential Jobseeker Information

Manufacturing

Manufacturing remains the biggest employer in the town, accounting for 14 per cent of the workforce and, within that sector, engineering makes up for more than a third of all jobs. Engineering positions tend to require degrees in specialised areas such as chemical engineering or civil engineering. Other forms of manufacture are more suited to those who want factory shift work and have an aptitude for manual labour.
 
Bigger employers in this sector include Warburtons, Stateside Foods and MBDA Systems.

Health providers

Over 22% of the Bolton workforce are employed in the public sector and a vital subsection of this is health which includes the likes of ambulance technicians and drivers, chiropodist and blood bank workers. Job prospects within these areas are good and many come with specialist and on-going training packages.
