Overview

At AtkinsRéalis, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We believe great project managers can come from many different sectors and backgrounds. That's why we're interested in your ability to lead teams, build relationships, solve problems, manage complexity and deliver successful outcomes, not simply the industry in which you've gained your experience.

Your role

  • Deliver high-quality project and programme management services throughout the project lifecycle.

  • Support clients in defining objectives, managing risks and achieving successful outcomes.

  • Develop and maintain project plans, schedules, reporting and governance arrangements.

  • Build strong relationships with clients, stakeholders and delivery teams.
