Jaguar Land Rover will shed up to 1,100 agency staff, or contractors, across the UK as part of a "transformation programme".
It comes as Britain's biggest carmaker reported a £501m loss in its fourth quarter after a 31% drop in sales, as showrooms and factories across the world closed because of the pandemic.
A spokesman for the company said: "Through its ongoing transformation programme, Jaguar Land Rover is taking action to optimise performance and achieve further operational efficiencies to enable sustainable growth and safeguard the long-term success of our business.
"Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company has taken the difficult decision to reduce the number of contract-agency employees in its manufacturing plants over the coming months."
The jobs will be cut from across the business's UK manufacturing sites, a process that will begin at the end of July and last through the year.
The group currently has a UK workforce of around 32,000 and the cuts come after the loss of around 5,000 roles announced late last year.
Over recent weeks, other carmakers including Bentley and Aston Martin have had to cut jobs in an effort to survive the economic consequences of the virus pandemic.
JLR is reopening its UK and European factories but many are only running at low capacity. The Castle Bromwich Jaguar plant is still closed.
Late last month, Sky News revealed that JLR was in talks with Whitehall about a massive taxpayer support package.
