4 top reasons to join our Networks & Drainage team

We aren't just engineers, environmental professionals, or consultants.

From enhancing our beautiful rivers and urban landscapes to building sustainable cities in the harshest environments – our Networks & Drainage Solutions (N&DS) team is at the forefront.

1. The water industry is booming, and so are we!

"Water represents the most fundamental need to all humanity, the environment and ecology. The N&DS Practice provides technical disciplines at the industry's cutting edge. One cannot escape the press that water receives. Whether improving our beautiful rivers, enhancing our urban landscape or developing new sustainable cities in the most arid places in the world, N&DS are the providers of solutions to the earth's most significant challenges.

"Over the next two to 10 years, we plan to expand the practice rapidly to meet our clients' objectives. We're developing enhanced training courses to accelerate our staff resource capability. It means great futures for both young and experienced colleagues."

Jo House, practice Director

2. Enjoy top water industry career opportunities

The opportunities in our practice to grow as an individual are immense. You'll receive mentorship from the outstanding leaders we have within the team.

3. With AtkinsRéalis, you'll be in great company

Because the practice is growing rapidly, we're helping colleagues at all levels progress better and quicker than our competitors.
