Expanding engineering company launches city centre base

Engineering firm RWO Associates has opened a Leeds office to help meet demand for locally based technical services and expertise.

The office in Park Place is the latest phase of a planned strategic expansion by the North East structural and civil engineering specialist, that will see its presence spread across the city and the wider region.

Led by director Andrew Fairburn, who brings extensive experience in delivering large-scale commercial schemes, the new office offers expansion options to more than double the space as growth continues.

RWO, which is currently recruiting for several engineering roles in Leeds, is seeing interest in its services from local developers looking to tap into its expertise to support their own development, construction and infrastructure plans.

Fairburn said: “RWO has seen strong growth as demand for our services has soared. So, it’s part of our business strategy to develop a permanent presence in Leeds and saw that the time was now right for new investment.

“We are experiencing strong growth across core markets with a healthy order book and this new office strengthens our delivery capability. It’s a really exciting time for us and our team.”

RWO Associates specialises in a range of work including flood risk assessments, residential, commercial, industrial and leisure structural engineering.

Civil engineering services cover road design, drainage, external works and SuDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage). The company now operates from modern offices in Newcastle upon Tyne, as well as Leeds.
