According to the head of human resources for Felgueiras (Porto district), Fernando Bravo, the objective in this phase is to hire between 50 and 60 workers, so that the works can begin in October 2025.
These workers will join another 20 who have already been hired, mainly for management functions.
The selected human resources will then begin a training process, which may last six or more months, to acquire technical skills tailored to the functions they will perform.
