We find the best talent for our clients and match candidates to their ideal jobs.
Formed in 1974, ROD is an independently owned, director-led company with offices in Leeds and Dublin. Our 225-strong team is recognised for delivering quality bridge and highway projects that create real and lasting value for our clients and the communities they serve.
Our current and recent projects include Herring Bridge, Great Yarmouth’s Third River Crossing; Clyde Waterfront and Renfrew Riverside project, Scotland; the A6 Dungiven to Drumahoe Dualling scheme, Northern Ireland; and the Humber Bridge Maintenance Operation, England.
Our work has been recognised for its design excellence, winning many prestigious industry awards in the UK and Ireland including:
While we are justly proud of our work on high-profile projects, such as the iconic Northern Spire Bridge, we treat smaller projects with the same level of respect, recognising that they too present unique, technical challenges.
Alongside our prestigious projects, we are particularly proud of our various commissions to develop the Irish Design Manual for Roads and Bridges, the Manual of Contract Documents for Road Works and the Irish National Annexes to the Eurocodes, in each case dissecting the established UK standards and adapting them to Irish conditions. This work provided the backbone for the Irish motorway and inter-urban road network, which has been designed and delivered over the past 20 years, giving our teams based in Ireland a detailed knowledge and understanding of the UK standards.
We are strongly committed to supporting our clients through the complex development process to create structures that are environmentally, economically and socially sustainable. We use the latest technologies and techniques to reduce material consumption and embedded carbon, increase flexibility of use and extend the lifespan of our solutions. Our experts ensure real value is extracted from infrastructure assets by reducing premature replacement of existing structures, optimising maintenance expenditure, improving asset reliability and availability and extending the service life of assets.
Our experience of liaising with architects, local authorities, contractors, and planning and heritage agencies allows us to develop practical infrastructure solutions that meet the needs of our clients and sit comfortably within their environment and surrounding communities.
At ROD, we believe that it is the talent, energy and commitment our people bring to our business that make us who we are. Highly qualified and hugely talented, our multidisciplinary team is driven to achieve, both personally and professionally, and dedicated to making a difference in society by developing solutions that are environmentally, economically and socially sustainable.
Our engineers are passionate about design, skilled at coping with challenging sites, and experienced in delivering projects with restricted budgets and tight timescales. Their readiness to adopt new technologies and manipulate new and traditional materials allows us to create structures that push the boundaries of design to deliver world-class, sustainable solutions.
ROD is a friendly company where collaboration is encouraged, commitments are honoured and achievements are celebrated. We foster a supportive and open culture, embracing diversity, championing inclusivity and treating everyone with respect.
The shared ownership of project outcomes is fundamental to our approach. Our company directors are actively involved in our projects, working closely with project engineers and project technicians on all aspects of project delivery.
Our people are the heart of our business, and we invest heavily in their personal and professional development through all stages of career development. We are an Engineers Ireland CPD Accredited Employer and operate an Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) training scheme.
In addition to working on technically complex projects that excite and challenge you, you will develop your leadership skills by managing projects, guiding teams, mentoring staff, building relationships with clients and supporting the growth of our business.
We strive for excellence in the pursuit of the best interests of our clients and colleagues. We are curious and innovative, ready to push the boundaries of design. We are principled and pragmatic. We care about the communities we serve.
We take an active role in industry-wide initiatives aimed at raising the profile of the engineering profession and invest considerable resources in schools’ initiatives aimed at encouraging more students into engineering, such as Engineers Ireland’s STEPS programme.
We encourage our team to make their skills, experience and time available to those in society who are most in need, wherever they are in our global community. Employees wishing to volunteer for charities such as Engineers Without Borders, Bridges to Prosperity and Habitat for Humanity are supported in carrying out non-feepaying work during regular work time.
