- Collaborate across the AtkinsRéalis business to provide your technical expertise, where it is needed the most, giving our clients the best engineering solutions.
- Strengthen the delivery of work through a variety of means, including full-time embedded resource within client offices, site-based roles, and in-house engineering support from AtkinsRéalis offices.
- Focused on providing high quality work to the client.
- Communicate well in written and verbal form.
- Keen to play your part in making AtkinsRéalis a great place to work.
