We already have an excellent team in place in Edinburgh and, with the construction phase of the project gathering momentum, we are now in a position to ramp up our recruitment. This project will deliver the world-class tram system which Scotland's capital deserves and we're delighted that we are able to support the local economy by boosting employment in the city."
