Seige engines were used before historical times. As fortifications improved, starving out cities up to the 5th Century BCE was lengthy and costly, so emphasis switched ot shortening this with organised seige engines. The Spartans in their seige of Messenia in the 460s BCE had to call in the Athenians to help.

So there was no 'first'. Looking for firsts, biggests, longests etc is a hazardous occupation, as somoe will always be able to trump you.

A well known innovator was was Dinysios I (Tyrant of Syracuse); Demetrius was given the nickname 'Beseiger'.
