Technical Carbon SME / Consultant

Let's move the world forward to Net-Zero.

Welcome to Atkins, a member of the SNC-Lavalin Group.

Work with us, and you'll belong in one of the world's most respected design, engineering and project management consultancies. Our success is thanks to our people's combined diversity of thought, expertise and shared desire to enrich communities everywhere.

As part of our team, we'll want to support your priorities inside and outside work. So, ask us about our flexible working culture and tell us what would work for you. You won't need to sign up for a 9-to-5, five-day week, full-time contract. Our office spaces can accommodate quieter individual work or team working where you can connect and socialise. And if being based at home suits you better, our IT systems will make your days just as easy and effective. So, if you have family responsibilities or need to service your car, Atkins will work for you.
