Siemens to Establish New Wind Base in Livingston, Scotland

Siemens will establish its new projects and construction base in Livingston, and the company is now recruiting to fill 30 working positions at the new base, Herald Scotland informs.

The expansion of Siemens’ operations in Scotland will support a 100 more jobs elsewhere, most of them in Scotland and Ireland. Livingston will serve as a logistics base for the UK and Ireland, since Siemens will have construction management, quality control, and health and safety all based there.

“We would like to get more installation technicians into the company. Scotland is very much a long-term commitment for us,” Grant Walker from Siemens says.
