My dream career, engaging with the biodiversity all around us
What I do as an ecologist
An interesting, varied role
Why I love working at Atkins
The team I work alongside has been incredibly supportive since I joined the organization and they are one of the main reasons I genuinely enjoy coming into work each morning. I also love the variety of the work I get to do and the opportunities I have to work on interesting, high-profile projects. It seems like every week, something new and exciting comes through the door.
Delivering what's right for people and the environment
The projects I've been working on
We're currently working on some large road schemes which require extensive survey work for a variety of protected species. I'm really looking forward to getting out in the field over the spring and summer and spending this time with the rest of the team. It's also great to work on projects that you know are going to have a real benefit to communities and commuters in the long term.
Making a positive, sustainable where it matters to me
Maintaining a good work-life balance – even during the lockdown
Diversity of thought, expertise and knowledge
Learning what I'm really capable of at Atkins
To graduates who love the planet and want to make a difference
