British Steel is set to take on 45 additional employees as it prepares to increase production at the Special Profiles Mill at Skinningrove.
The mill can produce a range of hot rolled profiles which are used in areas such as mining, shipbuilding and construction.
Jason Webb, plant manager for the Skinningrove site said: “This is great news, not just for British Steel but for the East Cleveland area as a whole. Being able to take on 45 new manufacturing employees is hugely exciting for us as a business, and it will be great to see the positive impact this will have on the wider community.
“Output is expected to increase during November and December.”
The site recently received a £26m investment which was used to create a new Service Centre which introduced advanced automated equipment.
The first intake of new recruits will start in the coming weeks, with a further intake planned in the next three months.
