London calling for Siemens apprentices

APPRENTICES JOIN RAIL VILLAGE TO BUILD LONDON UNDERGROUND TRAINS

- By TOM KEIGHLEY

A GROUP of apprentices have been the latest to take up roles at Siemens Mobility's multi-million-pound Goole Rail Village.

The recruits will be involved in assembling London Underground trains to be used on the Piccadilly Line.

They will also build experience in a diverse set of roles including mechanical fitter, maintenance support manufacturing technician, engineering fitter and warehouse management. Theoretical learning will come from York College.

Mark Speed, general manager at Siemens Mobility's Goole Rail Village, said: “We're committed to creating a powerful pipeline of talent and a lasting legacy of skills for our business and the wider industry. That's why we have brought on board apprentices from the early days of the Goole project and continue to do so. This latest intake at Goole further contributes to our ongoing investment in developing young talent to help shape the future of the UK rail industry.
