Siemens Nigeria has commenced the pilot phase of its Graduate Trainee Engineers and Management programme for fresh engineering and sciences graduates from Nigeria universities.


According to a statement issued by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), the capacity building initiative is aimed at tackling the depletion of professionals and skilled field service engineers in the country.
Specifically, the company stated that the programme would focus on hiring, training and grooming local talents to meet the company’s business needs and its sustainability.
Commenting on the on-boarding of the graduate trainees, Vice President, Services and Digital, Siemens Nigeria, Seun Suleiman, said “We are excited to on-board these graduates to our field service department where they will be cross-trained across our product lines over the next 2 years.
“Siemens is known as an employer of choice in the power and gas sector in Nigeria and this graduate trainee programme by our services distributed generation oil & gas business unit was driven by our commitment to provide a pool of young, talented and well trained service engineers in compliance with local content act of the Nigerian Government for human capital development.”
“It is our goal that by the end of this programme we will graduate multi-skilled engineers who, in the future, will be able to take over from our experienced pool of senior engineers who currently demonstrate the capacity to support our fleet of over 360 gas turbines and compressors across our country.
