What is Multidisciplinary Engineering and how to get your career started?

What is Multidisciplinary Engineering? 

Multidisciplinary Engineering integrates principles from various engineering disciplines such as civil, mechanical, electrical and more to address complex problems in the built environment. This allows engineers to pull from a range of different skills and knowledge to find solutions that are effective and efficient. 

It leverages each discipline's strengths, allowing for more collaboration between teams and introducing diverse perspectives resulting in more innovative and creative solutions. 

At AtkinsRéalis, we are committed to identifying the unique drivers of change that will engineer a better future for our planet and its people. We pride ourselves on embracing each other's unique contributions and this collaborative approach is how we are able to deliver exceptional results on our projects.
