The global engineering giant is staging the events to enable local people to find out all they need to know about the 1,000 jobs it is creating in Hull's biggest ever inward investment.
Siemens and partner organisations said the events could accommodate up to 7,000 visitors but stressed that people had to register online in advance in order to attend. Pre-registration to attend within a specific time slot is essential because of the capacities of the venues and to ensure every job-seeker has sufficient time to get the information and advice they need to apply to work with the company.
The venues have been chosen to cover the Hull area as widely as possible. Details are as follows:
East Hull
Tuesday, September 29 – Freedom Centre, Preston Road, Hull, HU9 3QB
1.00pm to 7.00pm (ample free on-site parking available).
West Hull

People can register to attend the events by going to the Green Port Hull website and following the link at www.greenporthull.co.uk/siemens
Anna Botten, Siemens recruitment manager, Wind Power UK, said the careers days were intended to provide comprehensive information, advice and support to prospective applicants and stressed Siemens staff would not be conducting interviews or accepting CVs on the day.
She urged potential applicants to register for job alerts via the Siemens UK website at www.siemens.co.uk/hulljobs and also review a wealth of information about the range of jobs that will be available at www.greenporthull.co.uk/siemens
She said: "We would really encourage people to think prior to these events about the types of roles for which they might be suitable. They can do that based on the content on the Green Port Hull site.
"Our message is 'do your research and come prepared'. People will get the most from their time by coming armed with specific questions about the jobs we will have available and what we're looking for from applicants."
