You've probably inspired and motivated a diverse team, showcasing leadership qualities. This role is about leading by example.

Navigating multifaceted relationships working closely with internal and external clients across Aviation, Defence, Energy, Cities and Development, and Water demands a genuinely collaborative, open and respectful approach - you’ll take your team and clients with you.
Responsibilities:
- Lead a skilled, diverse team; enhancing our reputation for innovation and technical quality on key projects.
- Help set the strategic direction of the practice with the Leadership Team, and plan and assign resources to deliver on it.
- Inspire, train, and retain team members, encouraging their growth and strategically strengthening the Practice.
- Be the go-to person for communication and support.
- Own key regional business metrics and contribute to winning local and national projects through direct client engagement and bid participation across all markets.
- Seek more business from existing clients, offer technical expertise for business development, and innovate service offerings; ensuring Net Zero is baked in.
- Enhance our partnership with our Global Technical Centre in India for better service delivery.
Key requirements:
- A leader who excels at motivating teams, welcomes innovation and inspiring growth.
- Quick to establish credibility and build relationships with senior industry figures and within Atkins, communicating effectively across all levels.
- Has a history of successfully managing the design phase of large projects, with a knack for expanding client relationships and securing new projects.
- Demonstrates strong project management and business skills, taking charge of project teams, finances, and client communications.
- Informed about new trends, technologies, and best practices to keep us ahead in our markets.
- Holds Chartered Status.
Please note: We have advertised this role as Associate Director to reflect what the market will expect of the job title, however, internally, we call the role "Practice Manager" so you will see that during the application process.
