RSE has welcomed more than 20 new electrical instrumentation and mechanical apprentices to our Muir of Ord production facilities, as they embark on our apprenticeship programme.

The induction day brought together our newest apprentice cohort to meet with key people who will support their development throughout the programme, including representatives from UHI Inverness who provided an insight into college life and the learning opportunities ahead.

We're also grateful to Wesco Anixter who have once again agreed to subsidise our apprentice toolkits for our new starters. Their continued support, along with a welcome visit from their team and goody bags for every apprentice, demonstrates the importance of collaboration in developing future engineering talent.

As we continue to invest in apprenticeships and graduate apprenticeship opportunities, we're proud to work alongside partners who share our commitment to developing a skilled workforce delivering innovative engineering solutions across the UK water industry.

On Friday, RSE was honoured to showcase its award-winning water treatment innovations to His Majesty The King during his visit to Dingwall as part of the town's 800th anniversary celebrations.

The King's visit brought together local businesses, community organisations, volunteers and heritage groups to mark 800 years since Dingwall was granted Royal Burgh status. We were proud to be invited to take part following our award of The King's Awards for Enterprise in Innovation in 2025, recognising more than 40 years of engineering excellence and innovation in the water industry.

During the visit, Allan Dallas and the RSE team presented our innovative modular treatment portfolio, including the m-MBBR® wastewater treatment system, m-CTU® clean water treatment solution and the Biomatrix Water floating ecosystem module, which supports nature-based water treatment and biodiversity enhancement.

As a business founded and headquartered in the Highlands, it was a privilege to highlight how RSE's solutions are helping water utilities across the UK deliver treatment infrastructure more efficiently, sustainably, and whilst supporting economic growth and skills development.

RSE's Asset Operational and Maintenance team are at this year's Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival and proud to be a part of the Workforce North Highland Future Zone in the Walled Garden, showcasing the exciting opportunities available within the water industry.

Day one has been a fantastic opportunity to meet festival-goers, inspire the next generation and demonstrate how engineering plays a vital role in delivering clean water and protecting the environment. Visitors have been getting hands-on with our interactive STEM activities, including a working water treatment rig and a live pump demonstration, giving them a real insight into the technology and innovation behind the UK's water infrastructure.

Our team will be showcasing RSE's capabilities for the duration of the festival through to Saturday, so be sure to stop by and learn more about RSE, our work across the Highlands and the various career opportunities in the water sector.

To help everyone get into the festival spirit, we're also giving away RSE bucket hats, portable chargers and sunglasses while stocks last!

Come along, ask us your questions, have a go at our STEM activities and discover where a career in engineering could take you. We look forward to seeing you at Belladrum!

Last night, RSE attended the Water Industry Awards 2026 in Birmingham, a fantastic evening celebrating the innovation, collaboration, and dedication that make our industry such a rewarding one to be part of.

We were delighted to be shortlisted as finalists for two awards, both in collaboration with Scottish Water; the Drinking Water Initiative of the Year Award for the successful delivery of the Eela Water WTW project and the Sustainability Project of the Year Award for the Timber Modular Builds (TMB) solution for supporting river basin management projects.

Our team thoroughly enjoyed the evening, which provided a valuable opportunity to connect with industry peers, support WaterAid UK through the charity casino games, and celebrate the achievements and progress being made across the water industry.

While we were not successful on the night, being recognised alongside so many outstanding organisations delivering exceptional initiatives across the water sector is something we are incredibly proud of.

Thank you to the organisers for a fantastic event and to Scottish Water for their continued collaboration on these impactful projects. Congratulations to all the finalists, and a huge well done to all the category winners!

This International Women in Engineering Day, we're proud to celebrate RSE Delivery Manager, Kirsty Ennion.

Kirsty has led the refurbishment project of one of the world's largest ceramic membrane treatment plants.

She said, "I have learnt largely by doing and finding my own path throughout my career. What motivates me is seeing clients happy and working on projects that make a difference, but equally in my new role, helping others develop and ensure valuable knowledge isn’t lost".

Her leadership, innovation and commitment to stakeholder collaboration are helping to deliver better water quality and inspiring the next generation of engineers.

RSE was delighted to host the third annual RWGM WaterAid UK Charity Fishing Event at Lake of Menteith Fisheries in Stirlingshire.

Teams of two from RSE, WGM, and Scottish Water took part in both morning and afternoon fishing sessions, competing to land the highest total catch weight. The first fish caught was weighed, with every fish thereafter contributing an additional 2lbs to each team's overall score.

Congratulations to John Scott and Stuart Downie, who secured first place as this year's champions and Alan Aitchison with the heaviest catch of the day at 4.6lbs!

We were especially pleased to host this year's event during WaterAid Week (1st - 5th of June). Forty-five years ago, the UK water industry founded WaterAid, and since then, more than 30 million people have gained access to clean water.

Together, we continue to support WaterAid's mission of creating sustainable water systems and working towards a future where everyone, everywhere has access to clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in a day on the water and to Lake of Menteith Fisheries for their support of the event. Thanks to your generosity, we've so far raised an incredible total of £1,470 for WaterAid.

We look forward to seeing everyone back again next year!
