More than 25 jobs are being created at Middlesbrough College because of the opening of a £12m engineering centre.

The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) Centre will open in September and applications are now being taken for a variety of roles, including lecturers and technicians.

The college is advertising 26 jobs but management say the number could rise to 35.

The centre is being built for Middlesbrough College and is part of a wider £20m investment in STEM facilities at the college. The unit will focus on manufacturing, process oil and gas, digital technologies, warehousing and logistics and engineering disciplines.
