Our teams work together on a broad array of important projects within the Strategic Highway, Strategic Rail, and local transport markets. You’ll have the opportunity to work on innovative infrastructure projects such as the Bletchley Flyover in Buckinghamshire, the Govan to Partick Swing Bridge in Glasgow and Haverfordwest Pedestrian bridge in Pembrokeshire. Please click the links below for some recent projects:
As you collaborate on projects across the country and worldwide you will work with colleagues from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. As AtkinsRéalis is a global company there may be opportunities for overseas working to gain a better understanding of the whole project lifecycle.
Our graduate scheme provides a variety of experience including technical, management, commercial and leadership to enable a fulfilling career with AtkinsRéalis. The scheme will enable successful candidates to develop towards chartership with a relevant institution such as the ICE and IStructE.
Highways Infrastructure
This scheme is now closed and we are not accepting applications.
As a valued member of our Highway Infrastructure team, you’ll gain exposure to the fundamentals of highway, active travel and traffic engineering, including roads, public transport, cycle and pedestrian facilities. In this varied role you will develop yourself within technical, management, commercial and leadership areas to give you a well-rounded introduction to the working world of Civil Engineering.
Upon joining the highway practice you’ll gain experience of all phases of infrastructure design, from initial concept design through to detailed design and construction. We’ll empower you to develop your skills within a technical role, undertaking a variety of project-related tasks including technical report writing, site visits and surveys, computer aided modelling and drawing preparation.
You will carry out all of the above tasks with the continued support of more senior engineers within the team who will willingly share their knowledge and expertise to help you progress in your career.
Our teams work together on a broad array of projects within the local and strategic highway markets which recently includes a large number of sustainable transport / active travel projects transforming transport infrastructure while providing net-zero emissions, helping to achieve the UK's sustainable development goals by encouraging and enabling people to travel more healthily, safely and sustainably. Please click on the links below to find out more about some of the projects we have been working on recently, to give you an idea of the types of projects you’ll be working on:
- Gloucestershire County Council Design & Maintenance Framework
- M25 Highways Maintenance
- A465 Head of the Valleys in Wales
- M7 widening and Sallins bypass in Ireland
We offer opportunities to carry out exciting secondments to gain a better understanding of the project lifecycle. This may include project management or construction, as well as the chance to work within other disciplines such as bridge, geotechnical and environmental engineering.
We work collaboratively across the country, so you’ll be involved in projects with colleagues from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. As AtkinsRéalis is a global company there may be opportunities for overseas working.
This varied graduate scheme will enable successful candidates to develop towards professional qualification with a relevant institution such as the ICE and CIHT, providing you with a sponsor to help you understand and complete the requirements every step of the way.
Central Rail Systems Alliance
This scheme is now closed and we are not accepting applications.
The Central Rail Systems Alliance is formed by partners Network Rail, Balfour Beatty, AtkinsRéalis, and TSO. Together we are responsible for the delivery of multi-disciplinary railway upgrade projects on the North West & Central, and Eastern regions of Network Rail’s recently devolved routes.
The programme of works delivered by the teams is valued at £2bn and manages the development, design and delivery of Switches and Crossings and Plain Line renewals as its core business but is also responsible for the delivery of major enhancement projects. As a valued member of the team, you will play a key role in improving the railway industry for passengers and freight.
You will have the opportunity to apply your civil engineering knowledge and gain a broad range of experience working in a multi-disciplinary team of experts. This is a fantastic opportunity to support in delivering a variety of civil design packages for both core renewals and enhancement schemes while working closely with other disciplines to ensure a fully integrated design is achieved.
You’ll also collaborate with construction partners to produce railway designs for the railway system which will allow you to develop as a well-rounded engineer or project manager and gain a fast track to chartership.
Connect Plus Services
Locations: Dartford, Leatherhead, South Mimms
AtkinsRéalis, Balfour Beatty and Egis Road Operations UK are part of a consortium, creating Connect Plus Services, a unique partnership with a collective strength in highways asset care from finance, through to design, build, maintenance as well as day to day operation.
