R&B Switchgear Group has once again been awarded the ‘Excellent Employer’ Kitemark by Next Gen Makers, recognising our continued commitment to developing the next generation of engineering talent.
For us, supporting future engineers is about more than providing apprenticeships. It’s about creating an environment where people can learn, develop and build a career — something we continue to invest in year after year.
R&B take immense pride in providing their apprentices with invaluable hands-on experience, comprehensive skill development, and a seamless transition into professional roles within the power engineering industry.
“Our people are at the heart of what we do, so we want R&B to be a place where they can learn, develop and feel supported throughout their careers. That goes hand in hand with creating a working environment where health, safety and wellbeing are part of the everyday culture. Being a finalist in both categories reinforces the importance of continuing to listen to our people, invest in their development and make R&B a great place to build a career.”
R&B Switchgear Group HR Director, Jo Hindle
This renewed accreditation is recognition of the ongoing work taking place across R&B to give the next generation the skills, support and opportunities they need to succeed.
