Schneider Electric

As leaders in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, Schneider Electric has made a long-term commitment to manufacturing in North Yorkshire with a pledge to create 200 new jobs, adding to the 450 people already employed by Schneider in the region.

Located just 500m from its existing Scarborough facility, the new advanced manufacturing facility is supporting innovation in the energy sector, allowing Schneider Electric to scale its operations and accelerate the UK’s transition to cleaner energy sources and serve rising demand for green electrical equipment.

Underpinned by Schneider Electric’s vision for a lower-carbon future, the new development sets a new standard for state-of-the-art sustainable manufacturing. The development includes advanced manufacturing space, office accommodation, and logistical support, all designed with efficiency, functionality, and environmental performance at its core.

To meet high environmental expectations we incorporated a range of energy efficient design features, including high-performance insulation, LED lighting, smart building systems to reduce operational carbon emissions and EV charging infrastructure.
We also prioritised low-impact construction methods to minimise waste and reduce on-site energy use, and introduced sustainable drainage systems and landscaping strategies to enhance biodiversity.
