A look into the career of an assistant engineer at AtkinsRéalis Nuclear & Power.
Hi! My name is Laura Barlow, and I'm an Assistant Engineer at AtkinsRéalis in Sheffield. I joined in August 2020 as a Mechanical Engineer. And here I am, writing this from my hot desk in the Reactor Operations & Decommissioning Team in Nuclear & Power (N&P).

STEM: Paying it forward to the next generation
I am also an ambassador for local STEM outreach within the Sheffield office, which enables me to positively impact the local community through my work. Over the past few years, I've managed the AtkinsRéalisSheffield work experience program for students aged 14 to 18 and supported local school and university activities encouraging young people into STEM. I'm particularly enthusiastic about events for women and girls in STEM. When I was at school, seeing positive female role models in the industry gave me some of the drive I needed to pursue a career in STEM .

Another really positive aspect of AtkinsRéalis Realis in Sheffield is the social culture . Our team organizes regular social and sports events, including pottery painting, squash, climbing, darts, and walks in the Peak district. These events are open to all and not only provide a fun activity but also give you a chance to meet people in the office that you might not normally interact with in your day-to-day work. We also have access to two volunteering days each year . This year, I've used mine to volunteer for the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and build a fence from Hazel that we'd cut down earlier in the day.
