The Opportunity:
We're actively seeking individuals from military and emergency services backgrounds to join us across a range of roles. Whether you have a background in engineering, project management, commissioning, or operational leadership, your experience can translate into a rewarding career at AtkinsRéalis. Here, you'll contribute to high-impact projects that shape the future of energy, transportation, HVAC systems, and infrastructure. You could find yourself working on exciting projects like:
- Nuclear Energy Projects - Help design, construct, maintain, commissioning or decommission nuclear facilities, contributing to the future of clean energy and national security. Your leadership and attention to safety will be critical in managing complex, high-stakes environments.
- Defence Infrastructure - Work on vital projects for the Ministry of Defence, such as upgrading military facilities, cyber security systems, or national Defence logistics, ensuring the UK's resilience and operational readiness.
- Transportation and Infrastructure - Be part of improving railways, roads, and public transport systems, making cities more connected and safer for millions of people.
- HVAC and Building Services - Design, install, and commission Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning systems across critical infrastructure or large-scale building projects.

- Project Management - If you've managed operations, coordinated teams, or delivered projects under pressure, you'll find a natural fit as a Project Manager. You'll oversee complex engineering, construction, or commissioning projects, managing budgets, schedules, risks, and teams to ensure successful outcomes.
- Mechanical, Electrical, and HVAC Engineering - If you have hands-on technical experience or a background in mechanical, electrical, or HVAC systems (such as working with aircraft, vehicles, machinery, or building services), your skills can be applied to designing, building, and maintaining infrastructure projects, energy systems, or HVAC solutions. You could be involved in anything from nuclear facility maintenance to HVAC system design and commissioning in transport, industrial, or residential projects.
- Commissioning and Operational Roles - If you've led teams in ensuring systems and equipment meet operational standards, you'll excel in roles focused on commissioning and validating complex engineering systems, including HVAC, energy, and safety systems. Your experience will ensure projects meet regulatory and safety requirements, operate efficiently, and are delivered on time.
- Leadership and Operational Roles - If you've been in charge of teams, logistics, or crisis management, you'll thrive in leadership roles where you ensure projects run smoothly and meet safety and operational standards.
Your role
- Lead or contribute to multi-disciplinary teams delivering large-scale projects on time and within budget.
- Engage with clients and stakeholders to understand project needs and provide innovative solutions.
- Ensure safety, risk management, and operational efficiency across project phases, particularly in high-security or highly regulated sectors like nuclear, defence, and HVAC system commissioning.
- Commission and validate complex mechanical, electrical, and HVAC systems, ensuring they meet all performance, safety, and regulatory standards.
- Apply your strategic planning and problem-solving skills to overcome project challenges and optimise delivery.
