Power engineering firm expands to Newcastle’s Milburn House

RXPE, a power electronic engineering firm, has expanded to Newcastle’s prestigious Milburn House on Dean Street, where it will now base its project management and delivery team.

RXPE first put down roots in Newcastle one year ago, employing a four-strong team in the city. Since then, eight more project management professionals and engineers have been taken on and further recruitment is anticipated over the next 12 months.

With headquarters in Altrincham, RXPE’s Newcastle office focuses on managing delivery of UK projects involving large-scale technologies which enhance electricity transmission. Ongoing activity includes contracts with DONG Energy to provide and install equipment enabling energy generated from offshore wind farms to comply with the UK grid.

Operations Manager Stephen Lee said: “RXPE is gaining a strong reputation in the UK and the rest of Europe, both for our advanced technologies and wraparound engineering support.

“As the business grows, we will need to continue recruiting first rate electrical engineers and project managers. Newcastle is a hub of power engineering talent so it makes sense to extend our presence here with well-equipped offices that have room for ongoing expansion.”
