Lead delivery with vision. 

The transportation infrastructure sector in Scotland is experiencing unprecedented levels of investment and AtkinsRéalis is leading projects to upgrade existing transport networks to deliver future demand including active travel initiatives, rail upgrades as well as extensive public transport corridor enhancements. We are also working closely with our clients to support their digital transformation and are developing new initiatives to help them deliver on their Net Zero commitments.

AtkinsRéalis is going from strength to strength in Scotland and are providing a wide range of support to our clients via the Excel framework and other routes to market.  We have exciting growth plans to further expand our business in response to this pipeline of work and we are looking to enhance our transport planning team in Edinburgh. We are currently seeking a talented, experienced person to help deliver transport planning projects for our expanding client base. The role will also involve supporting our wider AtkinsRéalis business working across both Edinburgh and Glasgow offices.

Your purpose:

  • We are looking for an experienced individual who wishes to manage our high performing, dynamic team that works seamlessly with our wider national Transport Planning business but also helps grow our business in the Scottish markets.
  •  Collaborating with specialists from across our business as part of multi-disciplinary teams, you’ll work on flagship regeneration, development and infrastructure projects.
  •  We’re a successful team with a well-balanced blend of skills to face our client needs and are looking for an enthusiastic individual to add further value to our market offer. 
  • The successful candidate for this role will lead and shape the transport planning team and be responsible for securing and delivering work from local clients building upon their own networks and knowledge base.

What you can bring:

Successful applicants will be flexible, self-motivated and will be expected to demonstrate a capability in any of the following:

  • Development of transport strategies and plans (local and strategic).
  • Scheme appraisal and business case preparation.
  • Transport scheme development.
  • Feasibility and corridor studies.
  • Multi-modal transport strategies.

Why work for AtkinsRéalis? 

Our Transportation teams are reinventing transport for a challenging yet exciting future. We're creating new ideas and smart solutions for cities, people and the environment. You'll be working alongside some of the top people in our industry, solving challenges that bring together traditional engineering and new technologies. As part of our organisation, you'll be in a privileged position, delivering what's right for governments and communities. You'll be helping us to improve our leading environmental performance while enabling others to do the same.

This role may require security clearance and offers of employment will be dependent on obtaining the relevant level of clearance.  If this is necessary, it will be discussed with you at interview. The vetting process is delivered by United Kingdom Security Vetting (UKSV) and may require candidates to provide proof of residency in the UK of 5 years or longer.
