Smith+Nephew is eliminating jobs in Tennessee, the device developer said in response to an inquiry from MassDevice today.
“Smith+Nephew is working to transform to a more efficient, effective and agile business,” a spokesperson said by email. “As we make improvements to our business efficiency in Memphis we have identified some activities that are no longer required to be delivered as they are today.”
“Unfortunately, this has meant that we are making around 150 roles redundant,” she continued. “The impacted colleagues are being treated with dignity and respect, in line with our values.”
The company did not say when the layoffs would take effect, but a senior product development engineer employee said on LinkedIn that he was notified this week that his group’s last day is Dec. 20.
