Engineering Recruitment East Riding of Yorkshire
Home › Locations › Yorkshire and the Humber › East Riding of Yorkshire
The East Riding and Hull make blades for offshore wind turbines, assemble trains for London and run one of the UK’s biggest chemical parks. Bernoullis delivers engineering recruitment East Riding of Yorkshire employers rely on, from Hull and Goole to Beverley, Bridlington and the Humber bank. Our engineers recruit engineers who know the work.
Why the East Riding and Hull Need Specialist Engineering Recruitment
Engineering recruitment East Riding of Yorkshire employers need has been transformed by the energy transition. Siemens Gamesa opened its blade factory at Alexandra Dock in Hull in 2016 and later confirmed a £186m expansion, adding 200 jobs to a workforce of around 1,000, to make blades more than 100m long. That makes offshore wind jobs in Hull some of the most specialised manufacturing roles in the country.
Rail is the second big story. The £200m Siemens Mobility factory at Goole opened in October 2024 with 700 skilled jobs. It will assemble 80% of London’s new Piccadilly line trains, and a bogie centre worth up to £40m adds up to 200 more roles. Goole is also one of the Humber Freeport’s tax sites, alongside Hull.
Chemicals and R&D complete the picture. Saltend Chemicals Park covers 370 acres and hosts Mitsubishi Chemical, BP, INEOS Acetyls, Air Products and others, with a hydrogen plant approved in 2024. Reckitt’s £105m R&D centre is in Hull, Ideal Heating makes heat pumps and boilers in the city, and Easington gas terminal on the coast handles up to a fifth of UK winter peak gas demand. We recruit engineering jobs in Hull, engineering jobs in East Yorkshire and across the whole Humber bank.
- Offshore wind blade manufacturing
- Rolling stock assembly and bogie production
- Chemicals, hydrogen and carbon capture
- Heating, consumer goods and medical R&D
