Our vision
Here is our vision for 2024. Now, if you’re expecting something wild and totally transformative, this isn’t it.
In fact, you might say that it’s not actually particularly “visionary”. In some ways, the RCSG of 2024 doesn’t sound a
whole lot different to our industry position today.
A journey of engineering innovation, industry exploration and working on a variety of projects with a variety of customers
has brought us to where we are today. We have taken risks and followed opportunities, we’ve grown (and grown up), and
most of all, we’ve learned who we are as an organisation. After more than a decade of reflection, we have honed our eye
for the future. It’s not about change – it’s about being very deliberate in our industry positioning, our business activities
and our relationships.
While there’s still plenty of room to grow, we have a clear view of our destination and will continue to take risks and follow
opportunities until we reach it.

Our People
RECRUITMENT
- Cultural alignment is important at RCSG and we are known for this.
- The short-term limitations of resource availability (quantity) are far less important to us than the long term returns of having an aligned, dedicated and cohesive team (quality).
- This means that demand consistently exceeds supply, but this enables us to be selective of what we do and who we work with.
RCSG staff across all disciplines and in all roles are aligned to our values which promotes a true sense of ownership and belonging
ENGAGEMENT
- Business performance is openly shared with employees. We don’t hide our success or failures.
- Everyone in the organisation takes ownership of business operations and performance and constantly strives for improvement.
- There is a strong sense of trust throughout the business which promotes a community environment.
Our people feel secure and valued
