Why work with RJM?
RJM International is a world-leading, engineering technology business that enables energy producers to transition to efficient, reliable, and cost-effective low carbon generation - and we are looking to expand our team to meet market demand.
RJM’s twin-track approach is to support existing assets which have decades of operating life remaining, by reducing their emissions and carbon footprint, and to support the biomass and Energy from Waste sector to improve reliability and performance.
We are actively working with our customers in their efforts to reduce their carbon footprint, whether that is by improving efficiency, fuel switching such as from coal to gas or biomass co-firing/conversion. Our projects require bespoke solutions which demand technical and commercial creativity in order to meet our customers’ needs. Over the years, we have won many awards for innovation, including “The Queen’s Award for Enterprise: Innovation”.
RJM works across several sectors, from utility generators to industrial energy users. We work on all types of plant and boilers from 1,000MWe power units to 100MW gas-fired boilers. Our knowledge base covers all types of fuels and all firing systems. We are also very active within the biomass and Energy from Waste markets where we resolve issues encountered in bubbling bed combustors/gasifiers and grate combustion units.
Through steady expansion, RJM has grown its expertise, technical ability, and knowledge to provide clients with a wide range of engineering-based products and consulting services. We operate globally and successful candidates will have the opportunity to work in different parts of the world on a range of exciting projects.
From our Head Office in Winchester, we also provide support to our offices in Singapore, Malaysia, and the USA, and there are opportunities to work in these regions.
