Technical Director - Safety Engineering

Bristol, Ville de Bristol, Angleterre, Royaume-Uni

Overview

Empowering projects in a complex world.

Are you ready to play a pivotal technical leadership role supporting one of our most strategically important safety framework partnerships? Join a team where your technical authority directly influences client confidence in complex, mission-critical systems across the defence sector. At AtkinsRéalis, you'll be part of a collaborative, inclusive environment where every voice is valued and where flexibility supports how you work best.

This role can be based from any of our UK offices however requires regular travel to Bristol.

We welcome professionals with deep experience in safety engineering within defence, an OEM environment, or other highly regulated safety-critical domains.

As a Technical Director – Safety Engineering, you will provide strategic technical leadership, act as a senior engineering authority, and shape the delivery of safety services across land, air, maritime and WOME (weapons, ordnance, munitions and explosives) domains. Your expertise will be central to our re-competition of a major safety framework and strengthening long-term partnerships with our most important clients.

Operating at a senior technical level rather than as a line manager, you will guide engineering approaches, assure technical quality, and influence client decision-making to ensure safety is embedded robustly and proportionately throughout system lifecycles.

You will also drive innovation across the business — integrating modern safety methods, model-based tools, and digital approaches to help us meet emerging regulatory and operational challenges.

Your role

  • Act as a senior technical authority on major defence safety programmes, ensuring engineering rigour, proportionate safety justification, and compliance with relevant standards.
  • Shape technical direction and ways of working, representing AtkinsRéalis at industry and specialist forums to influence defence safety thinking.
  • Provide technical oversight across complex and highly regulated programmes, ensuring high-quality safety artefacts and robust assurance outcomes.
  • Mentor and guide technical teams (not line manage) to embed consistent, modern, best-practice safety engineering methods.
  • Engage directly with clients and partners, building trusted relationships that support successful delivery and long-term frameworks.
  • Support bid teams and solution development, contributing compelling technical strategies that strengthen our position in major safety re-competitions.
  • Champion digital and innovative approaches to enhance efficiency, assurance and technical excellence across the organisation.

Bâtir des fondations durables: le parcours de Defne en structure du bâtiment chez AtkinsRéalis

Je travaille chez AtkinsRéalis à titre de Candidate à la profession d’ingénieure (CPI) en structure de bâtiment, un domaine qui me passionne profondément. Ce que j’aime dans mon travail, c’est qu’il combine la rigueur technique, la collaboration entre disciplines et l’impact concret.
