Projet FA3, Jaguar Land Rover
When Jaguar Land Rover launched the FA3 facility at Solihull – a new trim and final line for its 4×4 models valued at over £50 million – it was more than just a build. It was a statement. The company needed robust engineering support and fast-moving teams who could step into complex civil and structural works seamlessly. We were ready.
The Challenge
A £50m project under pressure – precision required
With the FA3 project starting in January 2018 and scheduled for completion by December 2020, Jaguar Land Rover required specialist support for civil and structural engineering: roof-structure modifications, a new 85 m conveyor bridge between trim and final lines, and seamless integration with existing manufacturing infrastructure.
To succeed, the workforce had to combine depth of technical skill, flexibility, and real-world manufacturing insight.
How We Delivered
Skilled teams, structural expertise, seamless deployment
- We provided a multi-discipline workforce specialising in civil & structural engineering for high-volume automotive manufacturing.
- Our teams orchestrated roof-structure modifications and the creation of an 85 m body-conveyor bridge that connected existing trim and final lines – all while operations continued.
- We embedded talent aligned to Jaguar Land Rover’s manufacturing cadence: engineers who understood plant constraints, strong coordination with site teams, and readiness to deliver under tight schedules.
- Continuous client collaboration: we delivered not just manpower, but partnership – coordinating with Jaguar’s engineering stakeholders to adapt, iterate and deliver on live site conditions.
Results That Deliver Confidence
When manufacturing evolves, the workforce must too
Jaguar Land Rover’s FA3 facility was successfully delivered by the December 2020 date, with structural and civil works supporting the new production line.
The 85 m conveyor bridge and roof-modification works were executed without compromise to existing manufacturing operations or site safety.
Our workforce support ensured Jaguar’s high-volume production goals could be met – the people behind the plant were ready when the facility went live.
The engineering supply model proved itself in a demanding automotive environment – delivering both capability and reliability.
Lessons That Shape the Future
From roof to final line – Morson Edge in the FA3 story
In high-stakes automotive infrastructure, the margin for error is zero. Here’s what this project taught us:
- Technical capability must meet operational reality. Engineering teams need manufacturing awareness, not just civil or structural expertise.
- Logistics and integration matter as much as skill. In-plant modifications alongside live production require close coordination and staging.
- Partnering beats procurement. Being part of the team, not just a supplier, accelerates outcomes.
- When scale, schedule and sophistication align, the workforce becomes the difference between “on time” and “ahead of time.”
Because when a £50 million production facility is at stake, you don’t just require engineering support – you require a workforce built for the future. Morson delivers that.
