Engineering business launches recruitment drive as demand surges

A firm of engineers is ramping up recruitment as it looks to invest in new talent to strengthen its team and support planned strategic growth.

Leeds-based RWO, which provides engineering services such as civil and structural design, roads and drainage designto house builders, construction companies and developers from its Park Place head office, is looking to create up to 10 roles over the rest of the year.

These include additional senior engineers and technicians who will significantly contribute to the current workforce as the company invests further in frontline operations and services.

Demand for its services away from its traditional northern heartland has seen a raft of projects secured by RWO in London, Southeast England and the Midlands with customers who include Countryside Partnership North East, Taylor Wimpey, Bellway Homes, Story Homes and Barratt Developments.

A strong pipeline of work across the board is expected to contribute to further growth as RWO boosts its workforce, resources and skills.

Ross Oakley, managing director, said the firm is planning for expansion over the next 12 to 18 months.

“We are busier than ever with millions of pounds worth of work secured for the next few years,” he said. “We are investing to support growth and increase our footprint with the additional resources and skills, which will enable us to continue to service new customers as well as long-standing ones.

“These are exciting times as we help companies and organisations leverage technology to improve the lives of their staff and customers.

“We are seeing the next chapter of the business unfold, laying firm foundations for future success as we continue to go from strength-to-strength.”
