Engineer safer futures with AtkinsRéalis.
If you're driven by making complex systems safer and influencing decisions that directly protect lives, this is a career move that lets you do exactly that.
At AtkinsRéalis, we're trusted across Defence to solve some of the most challenging safety problems in the land domain. From next‑generation armoured vehicles to digital safety transformation, you'll shape safety outcomes on national & global programmes that matter — whilst also contributing to the growth and future direction of our Land Safety capability.
Here, you'll join a collaborative community of safety specialists, engineers, technologists and consultants who value innovation as much as rigour. We encourage new ideas, challenge conventional thinking, and reward people who bring curiosity and leadership to their work. And with our flexible and remote‑working policies, you can build a career without compromising the things that matter outside of work.

As a Principal Land Safety Consultant, you will be the technical lead for safety management across significant Defence programmes and bespoke consultancy engagements whilst also contributing to growth in the practice. You'll:
- Be the recognised Subject Matter Expert for Land Safety within project teams.
- Lead and assure the delivery of safety management systems, safety cases and regulatory compliance activities.
- Provide authoritative advice on DSA and Defence Standards (e.g., Def Stan 00‑056).
- Translate complex, often ambiguous safety challenges into clear, actionable strategies for clients.
- Drive innovation — including digital tools, new methodologies and data-led approaches.
- Mentor and develop safety engineers, shaping the next generation of specialists.
- Identify and shape future opportunities with new and existing clients.
- Lead and contribute to bid activity, proposals and work-winning initiatives.
