Introducing our summer 2024 interns... Thirteen students from around the UK have joined Team Robertson as part of our 12-week Summer Internship Programme. Our new recruits have been paired with a business or function whose expertise complements their field of study to help maximise their learning experience. Working alongside our teams as we deliver for our customers and communities, interns will have the opportunity to contribute their ideas and perspectives, and develop their skills and commercial awareness. Chief Executive Officer Elliot Robertson offered his advice on making the most of the weeks ahead, “Use every moment to the maximum, ask questions, grow your knowledge and use this as a stepping stone to a professional career. Continuous learning is a key part of our culture and success – the only limits to what you can learn in the next 12 weeks will be the limits that you place on yourself. I look forward to meeting you soon.”  Welcome to Team Robertson! #earlycareers #summerinternship #construction #facilitiesmanagement #engineering #learninganddevelopment

As part of our overall commitment to the development of the next generation of talent in our business and industries, we firmly believe in providing a space where the voices of our young people can be heard. Earlier this month our NextGen Ambassadors, representing young people across Robertson, met with CEO Elliot Robertson to share regional insights and suggestions to further enhance our NextGen Strategy. Elliot noted, “I am always impressed by the young people across our organisation. Having the Ambassadors in place to share feedback that will improve the experience for the next ‘next gen’ is invaluable.” A big thank you to our NextGen Ambassadors for their ongoing work and ensuring the thoughts and views of our young people are brought to the table. #earlycareers #development #construction #facilitiesmanagement #engineering #civilengineering

Robertson Construction Central East has successfully handed over the £12m 4D Cellular Medicine Building to The University of Edinburgh. Connecting to the East and North buildings of the Institute of Genetics and Cancer, the new five-storey building houses data analysis areas, laboratories and other specialist spaces to support vital research. Delivering the new space within a live environment, our team ensured any disturbance to the rest of the campus was minimal. The project was procured through Procurement Hub and marks our 14th completed project for The University of Edinburgh.

We are delighted that Glentress Forest has won the ‘Best Project for Improving Greenspace and Green Infrastructure’ award at the Outdoor Recreation Network Success Awards 2024. Supporting the Glentress Masterplan, Robertson Civil Engineering delivered works for Forestry and Land Scotland which geared up the forest in Peebles to host events at the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships. This award recognises the significant work and lasting social and economic benefits of the project. Judges praised it as an excellent example of how master planning around a sporting event can create infrastructure, enterprise and recreational spaces for all. Awarded through the Procurement Hub Major Projects Frameworks, works comprised over 9km of mountain bike and network trails with new earth structures and bridges alongside a new car park and upgrades to the existing one. Aligning with our commitment to being environmentally responsible, zero waste was sent to landfill by recycling soil on-site in lieu of quarried material to backfill culverts, which were used as part of the events for both spectators and riders.   To read more about our work at Glentress: https://lnkd.in/eZUenD8F     #Construction #civilengineering #sustainability #environment #sustainability
