A GLOBAL engineering consultancy has moved to larger offices in Newcastle to cope with its expanding team.

Red Engineering Design, which has offices in London, Oxford, Guildford, Dublin, Dubai, Istanbul, Hong Kong, Singapore, Clark and Manila, opened a Tyneside office in Hoults Yard six years ago. A team of four established the presence in the region in 2016 and moved to a larger office on the Yard three years later because of an increase in numbers.

Three years on and RED is having to move again at the yard as its team has expanded to 32 – and more recruitment is in the pipeline. As well as recruiting established and experienced professionals, RED also regularly recruits graduates from the region’s universities and apprentices from Gateshead College.

Mark Smith, RED’s Managing Director for the EMEA region said: “A lot of our work involves datacentres, but we’re diversifying and picking up work in several other sectors including health, hotels and aviation. The increase in work has led us to open two new UK offices – in Guildford and Dartford – and a new office in Munich, Germany. In 2015 we had 235 employees globally, but now we have about 850.”.

RED is an international, award-winning building services consultancy, designing MEP services for infrastructure, new buildings and upgrade projects, with a focus on low energy solutions.

Two of RED’s newest recruits are apprentice Georgia Pickering and graduate Natish Kumar. Georgia is studying a mechanical engineering apprenticeship and spends a day a week at TDR College and the remainder of her time working for RED and Natish graduated from Newcastle University with a degree in electrical and power engineering and is also enjoying his first few months with RED.
