insights How our drainage engineers at AtkinsRéalis go beyond sustainable infrastructure
What does a drainage engineer do?
Drainage engineers, also known as water resources engineers, are responsible for designing, managing, and maintaining systems that control and manage water flow.
Here at AtkinsRéalis, our drainage engineers are more than just engineers, they are custodians of change. They are making a difference to our future by helping to reduce, contain, treat and return wastewater.
After all, our future depends on water - the world’s most vital and complex resource. Learn more about how our drainage engineers go beyond sustainable infrastructure, our culture, and career opportunities within the business.
Beyond sustainable infrastructure
We’re on a mission to engineer a better future for our planet and its people by creating sustainable solutions that connect people, data and technology.
At AtkinsRéalis, you’ll be working on projects that are not only technically challenging but also socially and environmentally meaningful. So if you are looking for a highly motivating and fulfilling career, we may have a spot for you.
Here is specifically what sets us apart from other engineering firms:
- We are driven by finding new and better ways of doing things, and tackling some of the biggest challenges facing our industry – and the wider world – head on.
- We have the breadth of capabilities to deliver results at every stage of a project’s lifespan, and the technology and data insights to continually push solutions to the next level.
What does this mean for our drainage engineers?
These two factors combined have several benefits for our drainage engineers.
