Placement applications start here
Are you interested in our UK placements scheme? To find out if we're right for each other, we've designed a process that's easy to follow and will help you show us your best.
You'll need to plan your time so you can give it your all and you can only submit one application per recruitment cycle so we'd like you to take your time learning about us- let's make sure the role you apply for is the right one for you.
We want you to perform at your best at each stage of our recruitment process and can make adjustments to ensure this. So whether you consider yourself to have a disability or not, or would simply like to know how we can support you better, please contact us confidentially at [email protected].
At AtkinsRéalis, we recognise our business is built from global talent and actively seek a diverse workforce. Are you studying in the UK on a Student Visa? Visit our FAQs page for further info or talk to us about how we can support you.
Or hear directly from our graduates and find out how they were supported throughout their programme.
The application process
Watch the full run-down of our application process - from applying to interview - in the video below. It also includes tips and advice. Or jump straight to the particular stage you're interested in the menu below.
So you've chosen the role, and you're ready to apply. We'll ask you to kick things off by completing a short application designed to gather some basic details about you, your educational background and core modules of your degree. As we don't consider CV's it's important that you take your time , and ensure all the information you want captured is conveyed in this section.
Our immersive assessment takes a ‘day in the life’ approach, blending different tasks to give you a feel for what it might be like to work for us. It’s designed to make the process smooth and engaging while helping you understand the kind of work and environment you could be part of.
This is a key part of the selection process, so it’s important to take it seriously - your performance will help determine whether you move forward. You’ll only have one opportunity to complete it, so find a quiet space, go through the introduction guidelines, and take on board the advice provided.
What to Expect
Part One: You’ll complete a mix of situational judgement, numerical, and verbal reasoning questions. It’s not timed, but most people take around 30 minutes. Make sure you’re in a quiet space and ready to focus.
Review Stage: Once you’ve completed Part One, we’ll review your responses against the criteria for the role you’ve applied for. If you meet the requirements, you’ll be invited to Part Two.
Part Two: You’ll be presented with two short questions as written prompts on screen. You’ll record your responses using your device’s camera - there’s no live interaction. Before you begin, you’ll have the opportunity to rehearse or try a practice example, so you know what to expect. Once you start recording each answer, you’ll only have one chance to submit it.
What you’ll need:
Camera - You'll need one to record your responses. You can use a computer, phone or tablet. If you do not have access to these devices please consider utilising your local library, school or university facilities.
Environment - We would recommend you find a quiet space without any distractions. It’s also a good idea to check you have a good WI-FI signal and internet connection.
For the year in industry roles this will be an opportunity to virtually meet some of the team who you could be working with. This interview will be the opportunity for you to showcase your relevant skills and suitability for the role, as well as sharing your future aspirations. Make sure you come prepared with some great questions to ask the team about how they work and what to expect day to day. For the summer placement roles you won’t be required to do an interview, we’ll use your application and online immersive assessment information to consider your suitability.
If you’ve had an interview we'll let you know as soon as possible if you've been successful in securing a position.
Please do get in touch if you require any adjustments or if there are any requirements or accessibility needs that we need to consider please let us know when confirming your attendance.

Use of generative AI
We acknowledge the advancement of generative AI and the opportunities it brings to our daily lives and you can use these tools, should you wish to, to prepare for your interview. However these tools must not be used during the assessment and interview process, as we want to hear your authentic ideas which are more valuable to us than perfectly crafted responses. Instead rely on your own knowledge, experiences and thoughts when responding to questions. Integrity is one of our core values and we ask you to demonstrate your integrity during the process.
