LIBERTY Steel Group looks to youth for long-term greener steel future

LIBERTY, Media release > 16th March, 2020

LIBERTY Steel Group is investing in the young engineers of the future with the announcement that its Speciality Steels business in South Yorkshire is hiring a new group of apprentices for the upcoming academic year.

LIBERTY is offering 20 Level 3 and Degree apprenticeships in a variety of engineering specialisms, covering electrical, mechanical and materials across its South Yorkshire business. A further 10 apprentices will be hired across LIBERTY Steel Group’s other UK businesses.

LIBERTY’s Speciality Steels’ apprenticeship programme, which operates across sites in Stocksbridge and Rotherham, is renowned in the region and was selected as a Centrica Top 100 Apprenticeship Employer in 2018.

Apprentices joining Speciality Steels will have the opportunity to learn and work in a business producing high grades of steel for demanding applications such as the aerospace, oil & gas, automotive and motorsport industries.

They will also have the chance to shape LIBERTY Steel Group’s transition to carbon-neutral status by 2030 as it aims to be the first global largescale steel producer to achieve this ambitious goal.

The Speciality Steels business in Rotherham is already ahead of the curve on reducing emissions as it uses an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) to melt scrap steel and produce new steel products, bypassing the carbon emissions from blast furnace steel production.
