Back to the Future: Returners Programme

We know that returning to work after a career break can be a daunting prospect, which is why we are offering a Returnship Program which is here to help. Our Returners Program is a 6-month placement which has been specifically designed to bridge the gap between taking a career break of two years or more and re-entering the workplace. We want you to capitalise on your existing experience, refresh your skills and knowledge whilst equipping you with the confidence to return to work. It gives meaningful experience, with the wraparound of coaching, mentoring support and training.

We are looking for a Project Manager to join our Global Project Management Team, a friendly group from a diverse background, committed to making our Customers Happy and dedicated to continuously improving the way we do business.

Siemens Lincoln is a world class provider of training and development in all aspects of rotating machinery with special focus on the Small Gas Turbine fleet (SGT) designed and built in Lincoln.  These are the industrial counterparts to the aero derivative developed by Sir Frank Whittle for the aviation industry.
