Are you looking for a Systems Engineering role where your work has a real and lasting impact? At AtkinsRéalis, we help our clients solve some of the world's most complex engineering and programme delivery challenges. Our success comes from the diversity, expertise and passion of our people, and we're committed to creating an environment where everyone can thrive.

Join us and you'll become part of a collaborative and inclusive team that values fresh perspectives, technical excellence and continuous development. You'll work with some of the industry's leading experts while helping to deliver programmes that make a genuine difference to the UK's security, resilience and future capability.

We understand that great engineers need flexibility as well as challenge. That's why we offer flexible and hybrid working arrangements wherever possible, a strong commitment to wellbeing, and support for career returners looking to re-establish themselves in the profession.

As a Systems Engineer within our Advanced Engineering Delivery & Consultancy (AEDC) Practice, you'll help deliver solutions to some of the UK's most complex defence and critical infrastructure challenges. Working alongside highly experienced engineers and delivery professionals, you'll contribute to programmes that are vital to national security and strategic capability.

You'll gain exposure to major programmes spanning the defence, nuclear, maritime, aerospace and Critical National Infrastructure sectors, supporting projects delivered at some of the UK's most secure and strategically important sites, including Aldermaston, Barrow-in-Furness, Faslane and Devonport.

Whether you're developing requirements, building system models, supporting integration activities or helping shape future capability, you'll see firsthand how your contribution influences outcomes that matter.


Your role


  • As a Systems Engineer, you'll work within multidisciplinary teams supporting the delivery of complex systems and capabilities. Depending on your experience, you'll contribute to activities such as:
  • Apply systems engineering principles, standards and best practice across the engineering lifecycle.
  • Support requirements management, ensuring traceability through design, verification and validation.
  • Contribute to system architecture, design and integration activities on complex programmes.
  • Support technical reviews, trade studies and engineering decision-making.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, clients and stakeholders to deliver successful outcomes.
  • Apply digital engineering approaches, including MBSE where appropriate, to support analysis and communication.
