Overview

Let's secure the future of energy.

The Power Energy Systems (PES) Practice of AtkinsRéalis is seeking a senior Technical Director in the Power Sector to join our UK team. We are looking for an experienced, client-facing technical leader who can act as a recognised authority in the thermal generation market, shape our technical strategy, strengthen relationships with key clients, and convert market opportunities into sustainable business growth. AtkinsRéalis specialises in all aspects of engineering within the energy, defence, and nuclear sectors in the UK and internationally. We're committed to providing industry-leading engineering solutions right through the project lifecycle, from feasibility to commissioning, with value added through client-side support as well as the construction phase. Our team is currently delivering work across the Power sector in the UK, as well as supporting other energy and infrastructure business sectors.

As a senior technical leader, you will provide authoritative direction across the organisation, contributing to practice and market strategy, influencing senior stakeholders, and leading multidisciplinary teams to deliver complex, high-impact outcomes. You will anticipate regulatory, commercial and technology challenges, develop differentiated technical offerings, and provide the assurance and judgement needed to help our clients make confident investment and delivery decisions. Become part of a team where every voice matters, and together we can tackle our clients' toughest challenges. We foster a diverse and inclusive environment where world-class talent thrives without boundaries. For us, collaboration isn't'a buzzword. We value the different perspectives our people bring and recognise everyone for their contributions equally. We also know that different people have different priorities, which is why we're here to support you with whatever you need.

Being a technical director with us involves UK-wide travel. We offer hybrid working which involves three days per week travelling/office-based. This position can be based at any of our key locations: Epsom, London, Bristol, Leeds, Birmingham, Manchester, or Glasgow. Other locations will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Your role

The Power Technical Director will be accountable for technical leadership, engineering governance and strategic capability growth across our power generation portfolio. This is a senior appointment, reporting to the Practice Manager / Engineering Manager, with responsibility for shaping technical direction, assuring high-quality delivery, supporting business development and developing the next generation of technical talent. The successful candidate will have the following responsibilities:

  • Act as the recognised technical authority for thermal generation within the PES Practice and the wider AtkinsRéalis business, setting standards for technical excellence and professional judgement.
  • Provide continuity from early client engagement and opportunity shaping through bid development, mobilisation and successful project delivery.
  • Provide senior technical leadership across complex power sector projects, ensuring safe, compliant and value-led engineering outcomes.
  • Influence practice-wide initiatives and recommend best practice to improve internal processes and services.
  • Develop and own the discipline strategy, technical delivery model and assurance approach across a growing portfolio of owner's'engineer, front-end engineering, detailed design and technical due diligence projects.
  • Build trusted senior relationships with clients, partners and internal stakeholders, operating credibly both on client sites and across AtkinsRéalis offices.
  • Influence stakeholders at all levels, including senior clients, operations teams, project leadership, technical specialists and external stakeholders.
  • Lead improvements to technical processes, services and delivery practices while ensuring robust engineering governance, assurance and risk management are consistently upheld.
  • Oversee technical input into strategic bids and proposals, defining delivery strategy and working with cross-functional teams to prepare high-quality, compliant and commercially compelling submissions.
  • Identify and convert opportunities for cross-selling and business growth, using commercial insight and technical credibility to strengthen client relationships and clearly articulate our value proposition.
  • Grow and develop the power generation capability, particularly in the UK power sector, supporting workforce planning, talent development, mentoring and succession planning.
  • Anticipate emerging market, regulatory and technology challenges, identifying risks and opportunities early and advising senior leadership on strategic responses.
  • Provide strategic oversight across multiple complex, multidisciplinary projects, ensuring technical excellence, safe delivery, and alignment with client and practice objectives.
  • Work independently in complex and ambiguous situations, acting as the escalation point for the most challenging technical matters and applying sound judgement to resolve issues.
