Insights Growing my career as an assistant environmental scientist at AtkinsRéalis
Hello, I'm Molly, an Assistant Environmental Scientist here at AtkinsRéalis in the UK. My specialization is working with nature to deliver nature-based solutions. My working life is varied, including site work, office work, and collaborative workshops.
Starting my career at AtkinsRéalis: Year in Industry placement and graduate opportunities
My career at AtkinsRéalis began in July 2019 when I joined as a Year in Industry placement student while studying for my BSc Geography degree at the University of Leeds. As part of my placement year, I undertook natural capital assessments to understand how the team uses data to quantify the wider benefits to nature. I was also involved in water resource planning, Water Framework Directive assessments, and many other projects. This placement year gave me a real taste of what we do here at AtkinsRéalis. At the end of the year, I was quick to snap up a Graduate job opportunity and continue working with the team.
Embracing innovation through digital solutions for environmental consulting
One of the core values here at AtkinsRéalis is innovation, which is supported by each project I work on. I embody this value daily by working collaboratively with my team to find opportunities to use innovative digital solutions to help solve client needs.
Exploring green finance opportunities and cross-team collaboration at AtkinsRéalis
I also take opportunities to work more widely within AtkinsRéalis to use the fantastic knowledge and skills network across the teams. I recently co-developed an AtkinsRéalis tool to quantify the green finance opportunities for nature-based solutions. This tool has now been applied to several projects to help clients understand the benefits of green finance.
My favorite part of working here at AtkinsRéalis is the range of opportunities and technical disciplines I have access to and have been involved with. Join us. The learning and development opportunities are endless!
