Our growing Geoenvironmental Department has strengthened its operations.

Neil Jones has extended his contract with the company as geoenvironmental services associate director after joining  two years ago following a short period of retirement.

With more than 40 years of experience and expertise, Neil, a chartered engineer and geologist, will continue to be responsible for the design and preparation of geotechnical design solutions for clients who include national housebuilders and developers, as well as staff development and training, reviewing reports and ensuring technical compliance.

We also welcome Spencer Ollivier (below), who joins the team as an experienced geotechnical engineer with key tasks that will include geohazard assessments, desk studies, site walk overs, planning, supervising and reporting on ground investigations and the preparation of specifications and reports.

Neil said: “It’s great to be able to extend my time at RWO, where I’m enjoying working so much that I’m staying on longer than initially anticipated. In particular, I’m looking forward to continuing to pass on my knowledge to the team, develop my work integrating our services with civil and structural engineering operations, and delivering more holistic solutions for clients.”

Department head and director Chris Rudd, added: “It’s great to have Spencer onboard and extend Neil’s time with us. Both are assets to the business as we move forward and invaluable members of the RWO team.”
