Our multi-disciplinary team is one of the largest in the UK, providing Water and Wastewater Infrastructure services alongside Drainage Design and Surface Water Management. We work across a wide variety of clients, both within the UK and internationally, including water companies, local authorities, highways /rail authorities, and developers.

You’ll work alongside industry-leading experts on diverse projects that allow you to improve the environment around us, and find innovative, low-carbon solutions to maintain and enhance critical water-based infrastructure, both within the UK and around the world. Examples of some of our typical projects you may get involved in are:

• Sustainable Drainage (SuDS) Design / Surface Water Management Planning to manage surface water runoff sustainably within our communities.
• Drainage Design for large-scale, Development/Transportation and Energy Projects, such as HS2 & Sizewell C.
• Design of Potable Water and Wastewater infrastructure.
• Working directly with Water Companies to develop long-term strategies (DWMPs) to help sustainably manage water across the next 25years.
• Options assessment, and design to help reduce spill events from Combined Sewer Overflows.

We offer two career pathways. Please state in your application which role is your preferred option.

Graduate Modeller

Our Graduate Modellers will typically be involved in:

• Hydraulic Modelling of water and wastewater networks to improve existing infrastructure and create more sustainable solutions for managing water in the future.
• Development of large-scale water infrastructure solutions, including utility master planning for new developments both in the UK and abroad (using our innovative digital tools).
• Surface Water Management Planning to help manage surface water runoff sustainably within our communities.
• Working in multi-discipline teams to help identify causes, and innovative solutions to reducing Combined Sewer Overflow Spills.  
• Catchment analysis and surface water planning (utilising GIS and ICM packages)
• Water / wastewater modelling utilising InfoWorks / InfoWater Packages, and bespoke in-house software (e.g., NetCreate)
• Providing data insights and developing new digital tools (using coding packages such as Python, Excel / VBA, and presentation tools such as Power BI)
• Writing reports (using Microsoft Office applications) to share our proposed technical solutions with clients / key stakeholders
• Presenting solutions as part of internal and client meetings.  

Graduate Engineer

Our Graduate Civil Engineers are supported in working towards Chartership with an appropriate professional institution, and will typically be involved in the following:

• Producing Design Calculations (both simple “hand-calculations” & Hydraulic Models using QGIS / Microdrainage / Causeway Flow / Infodrainage / Infoworks ICM)
• Drawing and 3D BIM Modelling (using AutoCAD / Civils 3D / Microstation) to aid multi-disciplinary coordination and construction
• Report writing (using Microsoft Office applications) to inform clients / key stakeholders of our proposed technical solutions
• Presentation of solutions as part of internal and client meetings
• Working in multi-disciplinary teams across AtkinsRéalis, clients and regulators, to understand Engineering problems, and identify optimal solutions

Hydrogeology Graduate

We’re multidisciplinary specialists that operate at the interface between people and the water environment. We work with our clients, in the UK and around the world, to provide innovative solutions, research and advisory services that support a more sustainable future. 

We’re committed to supporting our clients on issues relating to water availability, quality and habitat. Working together, we deliver projects that bring about real change and make a positive difference to the environment and society.

As a graduate hydrogeologist, you’ll be supported by a team of experts at the forefront of the field. You’ll contribute to providing environmentally sustainable water supplies for the future whilst ensuring that water habitats are protected from increasing demand for water and from new infrastructure development. Our growing and varied project portfolio offers opportunity to get involved with groundwater resource evaluation, development and management, and with environmental impact investigation for water companies, industry and regulators.

Key duties include:

• Collaborating with hydrogeologist technical leads and other technical disciplines to support the successful delivery of our portfolio of groundwater projects.
• Conducting field studies, to include the collection and analysis of groundwater data.
• Undertaking complex problem solving tasks that may include calculations and modelling, conceptualisation and report writing.
• Working with the wider Water Management Consultancy team and beyond, to support the delivery of a range of projects relating to water supply, strategic planning, resource optimisation and environmental assessment.
