Top 5 careers in Environment & Geoscience at AtkinsRéalis

Our Environment & Geoscience teams aren't just using technology and expertise to meet our clients' visions – they're preserving the future of our planet! 

Whether providing solutions to protect ecosystems, conducting studies on air quality, or remediating former oil and gas facilities, you'll be working with colleagues who are well-known in the industry for end-to-end solutions that make the seemingly impossible, possible at AtkinsRéalis . 

What are the differences between a career in Environment & Geoscience? 

A career in Environment focuses on studying and managing environmental systems, and addressing the human impacts on ecosystems. 

Whereas, a career in Geoscience focuses on the study of Earth's structure and how we can develop the built environment considering natural hazards, using geology and geophysics principles. 

There are overlaps and interdisciplinary opportunities between these two fields where professionals leverage methodologies and applications with a common goal of protecting the environment.

If you are wondering what Environmental & Geoscience careers are out there, then look no further. Here are the top 5 careers in this field:
