Details of the first 270 jobs at Siemens’ new £200m rail factory in Goole have been revealed.

First plans for the state-of-the-art factory were submitted earlier this year, and once fully operational it will employ up to 700 people in East Yorkshire.

Now, more details of the types of jobs available in the first wave of recruitment have been released, with the roles expected to be available in 2022.

A total of 90 jobs will be for mechanical engineers, along with 55 for electrical engineers and 20 warehouse jobs.
