We are seeking an enthusiastic Civil/Structural Engineer with up to 5 years of experience who thrives in a dynamic, professional services work environment. You’ll be comfortable with variety and varying levels of work demand and want to be involved in projects from bid stage through to final delivery that will challenge you, develop your experience and support your career aspirations.
We are looking for someone motivated and with a positive attitude who will join our growing team in the Birmingham office. Your skills are important and your attitude towards taking on fresh challenges is key. You’ll enjoy working closely with other engineers in project teams, small or large.
From a technical perspective, you’ll have a sound understanding of the fundamentals of structural behaviour, so that you can apply this knowledge to help solve a wide range of problems.
Does this sound like you? In which case, we’d love you to apply for this role.
The Role:
You’ll be working within our Nuclear & Power business, where our team focusses both on the UK Nuclear and conventional power sector. We also work closely with our colleagues on Offshore Renewables and Oil & Gas projects. This means we regularly deal with a wide variety of load conditions, both static and dynamic.
You will join a team of civil and electrical engineering professionals with staff of graduate through to chief engineer level, helping to develop technical solutions across a wide range of challenging projects. You’ll be flexible; you could be working on a small individual assignment or as part of a larger, multi-disciplinary team, taking on some of the most complex and challenging projects in the world.
The Person:
Our ideal candidate would be someone who is enthusiastic, keen to learn and wants their professional work to make a real difference to our clients.
You will enjoy using a variety of approaches to find the best possible outcome, debating the issues and challenging the norms. As soon as you’re presented with a problem, you are focused on how to resolve it, whatever it might be.
You don’t just tackle these things alone; You like to work with others, ask questions, build relationships with your colleagues and importantly, engage with clients to listen, explain and advise. You enjoy breaking down and understanding complex ideas and applying your knowledge to solve real world problems.
We’d like you to be flexible and willing to travel as work requires; we are often based at our client’s sites or working collaboratively with them in their offices.
Overall, you get satisfaction from building relationships with others. You enjoy getting to know people and working to have a positive impact– whether delivering directly or supporting others in their endeavours.
In addition to excellent communication and problem-solving skills, you will be able to demonstrate the following:
• Degree qualified Civil or Structural Engineer
• Some experience of working in a professional services environment
• Working towards or having become professionally qualified with either the ICE or the IStructE
• An understanding of practical steel and reinforced concrete design
• A good understanding of structural engineering principles and structural behaviour
• Experience with engineering software packages
• Experience of design and analysis for extreme loads such as seismic, blast and impact
The ability to speak French, Japanese or Chinese would be an advantage.
Our Team:
This is an exciting time for Atkins; our recent acquisition by SNC-Lavalin means that we are diversifying our portfolio to become a more global organisation. This offers a wide range of international career opportunities whilst we continue to grow our existing business units in the UK. There will be opportunities for international travel and applicants with a desire for non-UK based assignments will be welcomed.
Our team in the Nuclear & Power business, specialises in taking on the most challenging engineering projects and opportunities, from technical leadership to project management. With existing relationships with the major operators in the nuclear sector, we offer variety of work, within a team which is rapidly developing to meet the challenge of e.g. the UK nuclear new build programme.
Based in Birmingham, you’ll be part of small, growing team with key expertise in the electrical transmission and distribution sector, but with ambition and in an excellent location to provide project delivery capability into the UK nuclear new build programme.
As mentioned, we also work to support wider energy projects, including renewables, and in the transportation and infrastructure sector.
Additional information:
Atkins develops individuals through a portfolio of training and development courses designed to help you make the best of your abilities and talents. We encourage you to participate actively in your own development through on the job work, in-house and external training courses.
