Sponsored and recently hosted by engineering company 189 Siemens, the annual Industry Day at The Crystal, London, now in its third year, outlines the types of job opportunities available in the transport sector and showcases ex-military personnel who have made the transition into civilian employment.
 
Based in London, supply chain partners including Siemens have identified that many of the personnel who are leaving the services have useful skills that can be transferred to the transport sector which has a shortfall of skilled engineering and planning staff. The Industry Day provides opportunities for attendees to speak to people who have attended previous events and are now working within the transport industry.
 
In the last 12 months, Siemens has recruited almost 100 ex-military staff to a range of engineering positions across the UK and appointed 50 former armed forces staff to jobs in the company’s Mobility Division incorporating rail systems, rail automation and traffic solutions in the UK. Currently, there are 295 vacancies across the Mobility Division including 29 positions in traffic solutions.
