Roke are widely recognised as being among the best in their field therefor we have the foundations in place to ensure our Engineers develop the necessary skills to help solve our client’s toughest challenges.

Your Community!
Roke fosters a campus like feel on each of its sites, due in part to the relaxed dress code but more intrinsically by its people.

Together this generates vibrant community of friendly individuals eager to support your development.

Roke prides itself on doing better each year on all aspects around the business and the community it serves. To aid in this we have Corporate Social Responsibility Groups (CSRGs) and Employee Resource Groups (ERGs).

A message from Roke’s Inspire – LGBT+ Support Network – “We provide support and advice, and champion inclusivity and understanding for anyone with questions around sexual orientation and gender identity. Membership is private and open to allies too”.

Roke also benefits from a plethora of employee led clubs which cover everything from gaming to food. A few example clubs include Football, Climbing, Airsoft, Sailing, Cyber security, Data science, Astronomy, and much, much more!

Not to mention the numerous company events throughout the year, including a summer music festival, bonfire night built by you (including fireworks, off course!) and a Christmas party.

Your Projects!
Unlike other working environments Roke maintains a project orientated structure. This allows and encourages you to “try out” a variety of skills and roles throughout your career. You could finish an Artificial Intelligence Python project then move onto a Vison processing C++ project. You might also split your weeks with Bidding activities and running a small team. There’s a large amount of flexibility by design and it’s up to you how you engage with this feature. Finally, please note this isn’t a perk just for new starters but an intrinsic part of Roke. We routinely have senior engineers change projects to “try out something new” or juggle multiple projects because “they all sound fun!”
