How to build a meaningful engineering career
Set your goals
The world of engineering is broad and encompasses a vast range of sectors and skills. Therefore, getting clear on the engineering areas that excite and interest you is important for building a rewarding engineering career.
At AtkinsRéalis , we know that new engineering graduates may not know where they want to take their engineering careers. This is why we offer graduate programs that give you an insight into different projects to find out where you want to focus your career. Our graduate program is 18 months long, ensuring that graduates are fully supported to transition from theoretical learning to on-the-ground project practice.
Embrace change
One of the most prominent elements of engineering is that it’s a sector that doesn’t stand still. From digitisation to renewable construction materials, climate change resiliency to big data, the engineering sector is seeing significant changes enabling the industry to achieve better results.
Throughout an engineering career, there will likely be multiple changes through new processes, materials or designs. For a successful engineering career, embracing change and maintaining a forward-thinking approach is a key aspect of the role.
For example, AtkinsRéalis is currently focused on our mission of becoming a Net Zero organisation. However, once we achieve this through our sustainable and energy-efficient practices, we will look at other campaigns that our whole team can support and which will challenge and grow the organisation.
Honour your individual skills
Every engineer will have a different perspective and will bring different experiences to each project. Through ongoing development, experiences and personal outlook, you have the chance to bring your own ideas and knowledge to engineering projects that could make all the difference.
At AtkinsRéalis , we recognise that increasing diversity improves innovation and project outcomes as we bring together unique ideas that can deliver ground-breaking results. Subsequently, with us, you can expect a diverse workforce with strong diversity, equity and inclusion policies. This not only helps create a supportive environment for our workforce but also brings our clients forward-thinking innovation that can transform engineering projects into world-class developments.
