British steel recruiting for 'biggest transformation in its history'

The steelmaker is currently seeking applicants for engineering and technical roles on Teesside and in Scunthorpe. They are aiming to deliver net-zero steel by 2050, with significant reductions in CO₂ intensity being mapped out for 2030 and 2035.

The challenge has been described as the biggest faced in 130 years of steelmaking and those starting their careers are set to play integral roles - potentially seeing it through.

Heather Bateman, early careers advisor with the Jingye Group company, said: "We have a rich history of recruiting apprentices into our business, so we're delighted to be maintaining this tradition. The successful candidates will get first-class training from our highly-skilled employees and training partners, and be able to play a valuable role in the growth of our business."

Apprentice roles will cover mechanical, electrical and fabrication engineering disciplines as well as technical positions. Training will be delivered in partnership with TTE on Teesside, where a £26 million investment at the Special Profiles plant has recently been revealed at Skinningrove, and North Lindsey College in Scunthorpe.
