An engineering firm based in the North East is poised to generate employment opportunities following its relocation to larger premises in response to the high demand for its geotechnical services.
RWO, which established its geotechnical services division in Teesside in 2022, offering a wide range of ground investigation services, has successfully acquired an additional 1,000 square feet of space at its Stokesley office, more than tripling its current office capacity.
The company is actively seeking to hire graduate ground engineers and experienced professionals specialized in geotechnical and geo-environmental fields, with the aim of augmenting the existing team of three.
This expansion comes as a result of six months of rapid growth and advancement in RWO’s geotechnical operations. During this time, they have provided ground investigation and laboratory testing services to support residential housing development projects at Wynyard Village for Cameron Hall Developments. Additionally, they have recently completed work for an undisclosed developer in County Durham, while preparations for ground engineering activities related to the remediation of a former colliery are underway.
Growth for RWO, which is investing in additional space and resources to support both workforce needs and client service requirements, has come on the back of an increasing workload from North of England residential developers who see an optimistic outlook for the property sector.
Head of the geotechnical department Chris Rudd said he is eyeing further expansion in the next 12 months on the back of a strong pipeline of work and ongoing investment in skilled staff.
“We are busier than ever, investing to secure growth and increase our footprint with a business that’s on the rise. The move supports our strategic growth plans, allowing us to take advantage of rising enquiry levels and orders in a robust North of England residential house-building market.
“Additional space provides room for growth, enabling the team to better serve existing and future customers. It represents the next chapter for the business, laying firm foundations as we continue to go from strength-to-strength.”
