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.”
The company revealed its environmentally-focused investment pledge in October, with the opportunity to make a difference at the heart of the UK’s most carbon intensive industrial cluster, seen as a big draw for those starting their careers.
Apprentice roles will cover mechanical, electrical and fabrication engineering disciplines as well as technical positions, with training delivered in partnership with North Lindsey College in Scunthorpe and TTE on Teesside, where a £26 million investment at the Special Profiles plant has recently been revealed.
Applications close at the end of the month. and successful candidates will join the 4,000-strong team in September.
