Engineering, Architecture & QA
We needed a smarter way to plan the routes our vans take while delivering large or high volumes of packages, which can’t be handled on the posties’ daily round. The team worked to design, develop and deploy a solution that allows draft itineraries to be shared between route optimisers and those delivering the packages, with redirections processing and geocoordinates incorporated. Working according to Scrum and Agile methodologies, the team rolled out features to 15 pilot sites, where users can now look up 30 Million+ addresses with geocoordinates on a number of core platforms. Faster delivery times have been achieved for large and excess parcels where each five seconds saved per package can deliver millions in cost savings.

Rob Langtry - Transformation Architect
“I got my first BA job by pursuing an opportunity to support a part-time secondment. Later, when I applied for the BSL position at Royal Mail, my experience of both the PM and BA roles was key to evidencing the skills required, so the opportunity Royal Mail gave me was actually really helpful. I’ve found there are loads of ways to broaden your network whilst doing something constructive: Cross-functional projects and communities of practice like the BA community are a great way to meet colleagues and broaden your skills at the same time. There’s always something going on that needs volunteers. And there’s plenty of training courses, another good way to meet people you’d never normally work with.”

We're proactive about learning
"Training is quite a big thing for me and it's really good at RMG. They’re very proactive about putting you on courses and promoting you to go on them – also the people at RMG are so friendly, I have not met anyone who isn’t helpful, even if you have never met them, they’re open to you asking questions and helping you out, yet you’re also trusted to get on with things, not micromanaged."
Locations
Based mainly in London, with teams in Milton Keynes and Chesterfield, a love of technology is what unites our Engineering, Architecture & QA teams. Everyone supports each other, sharing ideas and solutions to help build and maintain the systems that support Royal Mail.
