Siemens Mobility unveils new state-of-the-art office to accelerate growth in Scotland

  • Cabinet Secretary for Transport Fiona Hyslop opens Siemens Mobility’s new office in Glasgow.
  • Modern office space will facilitate collaboration and innovation among Scottish colleagues.
  • New office reflects the company’s commitment to supporting Scotland’s vision of a more sustainable railway.

Siemens Mobility has officially opened its new Glasgow office, which is based in Atlantic Square at the heart of the city’s business and financial district. The company currently employs more than 250 people in Scotland, including at its depots at Gogar in Edinburgh and in Cambuslang and Shields. The new office location will bring employees together as they work towards making Scotland’s railways more sustainable, inclusive, safe and accessible to all.

Fiona Hyslop, Cabinet Secretary for Transport said: “The opening of Siemens Mobility's brand-new office in Glasgow is an excellent example of further investment in rail in Scotland. Enabling a number of highly-skilled jobs within Scotland will drive forward economic development and help play a crucial part in achieving a greener and more sustainable rail network in Scotland.”

Rob Morris, Joint CEO of Siemens Mobility in the UK & Ireland said: “This new office is a sign of our commitment to supporting Scotland’s vision of a more sustainable, inclusive, safe and accessible transport system for everyone. Having a future-fit office in the heart of the city will enable us to meet the growing needs of Scotland’s railway even more efficiently.”

Located at 2 Atlantic Square, a few minutes’ walk from Glasgow Central station, the office provides flexible work zones where teams can come together and collaborate in person or virtually. Designed with employee wellbeing in mind, it also features gym-style showers with changing rooms, complementary towels and toiletries, bike storage and a parcel hub. 

Siemens Mobility is committed to minimising its environmental footprint and chose the Atlantic Square office building for its BREEAM ‘Excellent’ and EPC ‘A’ certifications. Other sustainability credentials include solar panels, energy-efficient LED lightning, 100% renewable electricity sources and a rainwater harvesting system.

Siemens Mobility is transforming everyday journeys for passengers across Scotland and keeps people and freight moving across the country from the first to last mile, providing significant infrastructure works, technical support and train maintenance. This announcement is the latest in the company’s series of investments in the UK, including a £200 million Goole Rail Village and £100 million in a new signaling and control facility in Chippenham.

Notes to editors

  • Siemens Mobility Class 380 electric trains maintained at Shields depot have travelled over 50 million miles with more than 173 million passenger journeys on routes from Ayrshire to Glasgow, Edinburgh and beyond.
  • Siemens Mobility’s signalling technology is helping achieve a more reliable railway at Carstairs, a key junction on the West Coast Main Line. This will ultimately shorten journey times between Glasgow and Edinburgh for passengers and freight users alike.
  • As part of plans to electrify more of Scotland's railways, we're working with our industry partners to look at using our Sicat SX overhead line system to space masts further apart (up to 110m, rather than the UK standard of 65m), reducing the number of masts and foundations needed by up to 40%, cutting time and costs of electrification.
  • Our modular signalling technology installed in-and-around Inverness Airport station, a first-of-a-kind in Scotland, has achieved over 25% savings when compared to traditional signalling projects.
  • Siemens Mobility has helped Ayrshire-based SME CK Contracts more than double in size.
  • We maintain the overhead line equipment, depot workshop equipment, on-track plant, communications, SCADA systems, traction power supplies and track for Edinburgh Trams.
