Careers with NRL
A global organisation, with a personal feel
If you could step back in time to the launch of the NRL Group in 1983, you’d have found 2 employees in one small office. Today, our operations span over 13 branch and office locations and 3 countries – with a wide range of specialist engineering services delivered by 145 people.
Despite the growing size and scale one thing hasn’t changed, and that’s the personal feel. Across our operations, our regional teams work together to drive best practice, supporting each other and move our business forward. There’s plenty of learning and development opportunities, including sharing training courses with fellow colleagues and working on cross-department projects to develop your skillset.
That’s why you’ll find long serving colleagues across our operations, having been with our Group for decades as they progress their careers with the support of their colleagues and our Leadership team.
Join an organisation where your first day is only the starting point
One thing you’ll see across the NRL Group when you speak to colleagues and visit branches, is that there’s plenty of opportunity to grow both professionally and personally.
From 1-2-1 development plans to the full support of the business to undertake training that will help you gain new skills and elevate processes, operations and client solutions. You’ll be supported along every step of the way, with opportunities to progress your career and take on more responsibility.
“I’ve worked here for several years now and each year there’s more opportunity to get involved with new things and boost my skills.
You’re given a lot of support to develop in your role, but on a day-to-day basis are able to work autonomously – which is great.”

More than just a wage
We’re proud to go above and beyond a standard salary package, to ensure we’re supporting your health and wellbeing as well as your household budget.
That’s why we voluntarily signed up to become a Living Wage Employer, paying the higher real living wage as an absolute minimum to everyone who works across our Group. We also provide a range of benefits from reclaiming medical expenses such as new glasses, contact lenses and dental treatment. With additional money towards physiotherapy and specialist medical consultation and a confidential helpline with access to counselling services. As well as a personal finance coach, who you can video call and chat with for tailored advice to help you manage your budget and financial wellbeing. We also give colleagues the opportunity to earn cashback on everyday purchases and take up discounted gym memberships, helping to make their salary go even further.
