Be amazing. Be you.

At RS we’ve been solving engineering problems for over 80 years: big ones, small ones, easy and difficult ones. We turn the ‘what ifs’ into the ‘why nots’. The impossible into the possible.

Our purpose? Making amazing happen for a better world.

We want people like you. You’re curious about things, you like doing things differently and in a human way – with empathy. Why do you belong here? Because that’s exactly how we partner with people – our customers, suppliers, colleagues and communities – to solve problems.

We’ll also invest in your development and wellbeing. Because building a more diverse and inclusive culture, being ethical, responsible and committed to our environment, social and governance action plan – these priorities are at the heart of everything we do.

Come and join us and over 8,700 colleagues – and we’ll help you to think big, do more and unleash your brilliance, so you do amazing things, too.
