Paris, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 21st Jan, 2022 ) :French rail giant Alstom announced Friday it plans to hire 7,500 people worldwide this year to meet rising demand and record orders totalling 77.8 billion Euros at the end of last year.

"These hires are aimed at projects involving rolling stock, signals, and services," Alstom said in a statement.
"The company doubled in size a year ago (with the purchase of the Canadian Bombardier Transport), we are present in 70 countries and our order sheet is quite big," the group's director of human resources, Anne-Sophie Chauveau-Galas, told AFP.
"So we have needs everywhere in the world to implement contracts," she added.

The framework contract with public rail company Norske Tog includes an initial firm order of 30 trains worth 380 million euros, Alstom said.
The firm said it seeks to recruit 3,900 people in Europe, 1,700 in the Asia-Pacific region, 1,500 in North and South America, and 400 in Africa, the middle East and Central Asia.
