Career defining projects, brilliant culture 

A career with AtkinsRéalis can be life‑changing. You’ll jump straight in to significant infrastructure, energy and transportation projects, making a huge and positive impact on the communities that rely on them. Our entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to trust our people to make good decisions has formed a team that is growing together, creating opportunities and finding ways to innovate, design and deliver world‑class solutions for our clients.  

You’ll also thrive amongst a diverse and friendly team who really go the extra mile to ensure you feel supported, rewarded and part of a warm, welcoming community. We’re proud of the culture we have built here, where people genuinely care for each other in an inclusive environment where everyone can bring their best selves to work. 

We have a large cohort of international colleagues so you would be joining a team who are incredibly good at making people feel welcome and settled into a new country and a new home. 

Register for our  Virtual Careers Fair. 

If you are an experienced engineer or project manager, or environmental or sustainability expert, and would like to find out more about relocating to Ireland for these life‑changing opportunities, then our Virtual Careers Fair is for you. 

Click here to register your attendance online between 12noon and 2.30pm SAST (Standard South African Time) on Thursday 6th November 2025.  

You'll be able to meet and chat to our hiring manages, leaders and team members who have relocated themselves. 

Excellent package  

Many find our generous annual leave entitlement of 25 days plus the ability to buy up to 15 holiday days every year as part of your package, hugely attractive. However, it is our international remote working offer which enables employees to work remotely in other countries for up to 20 days per year as an employee - as an absolute gamechanger. For example, to spend six weeks back home in South Africa, you could take two weeks as annual leave and request remote working for up to 20 further days to really maximize time spent back at home with friends and family.  

We develop all our people through an active portfolio of internal and external training and development programs, helping you make the best of your abilities and talents. As part of a global team you will be able to draw on resource and expertise from projects in many different regions, and share your knowledge with a vibrant and knowledge‑hungry early careers community.  

We're a passionate and friendly cross‑disciplinary team of over 400 consultants, engineers, project managers, environmentalists, sustainability experts, ecologists, modellers, and planners. Together, we solve the complex problems that face our planet and our people. With us, you'll be engineering a better future for our people, planet, and clients. 

"I love being in such an accepting and inclusive environment - everyone is so lovely! I have received so much support here and the company culture is very welcoming. The content of work keeps my brain stimulated and I just feel so 'seen' - I've never felt my efforts as well recognized before. I have developed a family in the office - there's so much to do in Ireland besides just working and I have grown so much since I arrived!
