The growing importance of sustainability
Sustainability is not just a buzzword; it's a guiding principle that has come to influence decision-making across industries.
As organizations recognize that sustainability gives them a competitive advantage and long-term resilience in the market, these organizations now try to insert sustainability at the heart of their core strategies.
Well, what does this mean? This means there is now a high demand for sustainability professionals.
Key areas and roles in sustainability
At AtkinsRéalis, we offer a range of different roles across industries, from Cities and Development to Nuclear Energy to Transportation. Here are some of those sustainability careers:
Environmental engineers - they plan systems and processes that minimize environmental impact and enhance sustainability. They could be working on any number of projects, from implementing waste management systems to renewable energy systems.
Sustainability consultants - they are professionals responsible for reviewing organizational practices and providing strategic advice on how to deliver sustainable practices effectively. They assist corporations in meeting their set goals of sustainability and help them comply with different regulations.
Sustainability project managers - they are responsible for overseeing and implementing projects focused on promoting sustainable practices and reducing environmental impacts. This role involves managing various sustainability initiatives, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to achieve sustainability goals.
Success in these careers, therefore, requires a strong educational grounding in the fields of environmental science, engineering, business, or related disciplines, and critical skills in areas such as analytical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication.
How you can make a difference with a career in sustainability
Careers in sustainability provide a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on both the environment and society.
For example, environmental engineers may take on projects that reduce carbon emissions, while sustainability consultants may develop initiatives for businesses to be more energy-efficient.
A sustainability career is both rewarding and fulfilling as you get to see how your contributions are positively impacting the environment and communities around the world. What’s more the sustainability sector is ever-evolving, opening opportunities for personal and professional development.

At AtkinsRéalis, we believe that sustainability is a way of working; completing any task or making any decision which reduces the impact that our activities have on the environment, society and economy, on a global and local scale.
