Working at RB Plant

Founded by Richard Bishop in 1969, RB Plant is a dynamic, innovative yet long-established multi-disciplinary engineering group that still holds true to its original core values of integrity, innovation, communication and value-adding contributions to our clients’ businesses.

We provide professional engineering consultancy, design, project and construction management services across a wide range of sectors, from Pharmaceuticals to heavy engineering, applying vision, purpose and cutting-edge expertise. We undertake every stage of a project lifecycle from initial conception to commissioning both globally and within the UK.

Our highly skilled and qualified Process, Mechanical, Civil and Structural, HVAC, CDM, Electrical, Control & Instrumentation Engineers undertake engineering projects of all sizes. This ranges from smaller scale projects such as plant modifications, expansions, and upgrades through to multi-million construction projects. We apply the same levels of client focus and professionalism to every project, regardless of size.

Our high proportion of repeat business, coupled with an organically growing new customer base, is no accident and reflects our unique approaches that make us stand out in the market-place.

At RB Plant we define our success purely in mutual terms by how much value we add to our clients’ and partners’ businesses. This is why those to choose to work with RB Plant receive a unique and unparalleled customer experience. We define ourselves by value engineering, which sounds an overused phrase, but how do we actually achieve it? Quite simply, our clients can take advantage of the following benefits:

CLIENT-FOCUS

No “one-size-fits-all” approach – each client and their challenges are treated uniquely.
Some challenges call for established expertise, some for more innovative approaches.
Managing expectations through accurate and realistic project costings and planning.

RESOURCE QUALITY, EXPERIENCE AND DEPTH

Quality resource – we allocate the best resource to the challenge in question.
Diverse resource – we offer a broad range of capabilities and backgrounds ranging from design-house expertise through to plant operating environments. This means that collectively we will have the relevant expertise within the business to provide clients with the solutions they need whether for a practical site-based challenge or a desktop engineering study.

EXECUTION EFFICIENCY

We can get the job done to an outstanding quality compared with conventional approaches – yet within challenging time constraints. We do this by:

Adopting the most agile, bespoke, and resourceful problem-solving approach.
Combining proven methods derived from years of established experience with the latest software advances and fresh innovative approaches.
Having high-quality, dynamic communication both with clients and internally within RB Plant so we can cascade information quickly – to the right people – thereby managing project risks and hitting cost and timescale constraints.
Avoiding excessive overhead or contingency costs – we only invoice fees that are targeted towards the project.

SCALE OF EXPERTISE

We have a wide range of sector experience under one roof.
We cover all key engineering and project management disciplines.
We provide a ‘one stop shop’ from consultancy to design, to installation.

FLEXIBILITY

Accommodating a wide range of project sizes and scopes, nationally or internationally.
Fitting into any part of, or executing, the complete project lifecycle.
Fitting seamlessly into the client’s project team or working from our central office.
