The Opportunity
Organisations are under increasing pressure to drive productivity, improve performance, and reduce costs. SNC-Lavalin Atkins business consultants provide independent advice and practical support to government departments, regulated industries and other public institutions, and private sector companies.

As a member of Atkins’ Business Modelling and Analytics Team you will help clients to understand the key drivers of cost and benefit in their organisation.
