Why you should consider a transportation career at AtkinsRéalis in the APAC region
The
transportation sector is an important industry for the global economy and it’s
a highly varied sector, as it involves the movement of various shipments and materials
via airlines and shipping. It’s an industry that’s grappling with rapid changes, as a result of technological innovation and climate
change. There’s now more pressure for logistics and transportation to keep up
with the demand of tracking goods and processes as the number of shipments has
increased. This means professionals pursuing a career in transportation can
learn a great deal and it can be a rewarding career.

new solutions. Whether you work as a transport planner or trainee Designer, there will be opportunities to learn
about the world of logistics and transportation – and there’s a huge variety of
jobs, especially as technology advances. According to research, digital technologies will drastically change
transport in the APAC region. So, with the region

Impactful career path
A career in
transportation offers professionals a truly meaningful career. Since transportation is hugely important to the economy,
professionals will be able to make a huge impact in their role. With the
continued growth of e-commerce, travel and tourism, roles in transportation are
only going to become more crucial. For example, working as an electrical
engineer in transportation would involve providing technical support,
engineering solutions and transport advisory – all of which are important for
the variety of rail and rolling stock projects. Therefore, a career in
transportation means professionals will have the chance to be involved in
large-scale projects and develop strong client relationships.
Challenging
There’s no
shortage of challenges in the transportation industry. For example, if you
secure a role as a designer, you could be involved in designing plans for the
electrification of transport and supervising work during construction. There’s
also the challenge of maintaining a positive relationship with external
customers and handling difficult clients. In the broader context, there
are major challenges for supply chains, that will affect transportation. This includes concerns around
the environmental impact of logistics and freight. Transportation businesses
will need to identify solutions to mitigate risks and further damage to the
environment. With these challenges, it’s an exciting time to move into
transportation and contribute to a rapidly changing industry.
