Searching and applying for jobs at AtkinsRéalis

How do I search for jobs at AtkinsRéalis?

You can search for jobs on the jobs page. The green AI jobs search widget in the centre of any page is where you can start a conversation and explore roles that match your skills, interests and experience.

You can also select Jobs from the top navigation, and search by keyword, job title, location, discipline or early careers category. If you’re not sure where to start, try a broad keyword first, or use the filters to narrow things down.

Our careers site will usually show jobs in your region first. If you’re open to working somewhere else, change the location or region filter to search more widely.

If you need extra support while browsing, the Recite Me accessibility tool can help with navigation, reading and job search accessibility.

What tools will help me refine the search for jobs?

You can save jobs, view roles you have already opened and compare opportunities before applying. Select Save job on a job card to keep it for later, then open My jobs in the search widget when you’re ready to come back to it.

When you open a job, it will be marked as Viewed, which makes it easier to keep track of what you’ve already looked at — especially if you’re comparing a few different roles.

How do I apply for a job at AtkinsRéalis?

Open the role you are interested in, select Apply now and follow the steps on screen. Once you have created a candidate account, you can track your application and apply for future roles more easily.

Can I speak to someone before I apply?

In some regions, including the UK and Ireland, we include recruiter contact details on the job description. Select Message me under the recruiter’s photo if you’d like an informal conversation before you apply.

In other regions, we’ll contact you after you apply if a conversation is needed as part of the recruitment process.

What should I do if I cannot find a suitable job?

If you cannot find the right role today, it does not mean there will not be one soon. You can join our Talent Community so we can contact you when relevant opportunities become available. You can also set up job alerts to receive new roles by email.

The application process and your candidate account

What happens after I apply for an AtkinsRéalis job?

After you apply, you will receive an email confirming that we have received your application. If it does not arrive within a few minutes, check your Spam or Junk folder just in case. If your experience matches the role requirements, a recruiter or hiring manager will contact you once your application has been reviewed.

How do I check the status of my AtkinsRéalis application?

To check your application status, use the link in your registration or application emails. You can also select Login at the top of the careers site and sign in with your username and password. If you have forgotten your password, use the reset option to get back into your account.

Can I apply for more than one job?

Yes. For experienced hire roles, we do not set a fixed limit on the number of jobs you can apply for. It is worth focusing on roles that genuinely match your skills, experience and career goals, as each role needs a separate application.

How does AtkinsRéalis support candidates who need reasonable adjustments?

We provide reasonable adjustments to support candidates during the recruitment and selection process. If you need an adjustment, please tell us as early as possible so we can help you take part fully and fairly.

What happens during the AtkinsRéalis interview process?
