We are not all the same and that’s our biggest strength

In the UK & Europe, we’re passionate about engineering a better future for the planet and its people. Bringing together teams with a diverse range of experiences and backgrounds enhances our ability to understand the communities in which we work.

Our projects are varied from major rail projects like HS2, Crossrail and DART network’s Kildare line, to developing innovative solutions like introducing beavers to help manage flooding in East Anglia, and advancing offshore wind and nuclear energy. It's our unique perspectives, backgrounds and experiences that help us create the most innovative, sustainable, and inclusive solutions.

Celebrating and embracing difference is at the heart of our culture, not just our projects. We strive to create a welcoming place to work, where everyone feels valued and free to share their ideas and experiences. We’re also working closely with industry partners and our clients to encourage them to do the same – because it’s simply the right thing to do.

Putting a culture where you belong, at the heart of the UK & Europe

We foster a supportive culture that’s built on the power of unique perspectives. By embracing allyship we make sure that everyone feels part of the journey.

Our global program – Different Makes a Difference and our local action plan means we focus on issues that matter most to our people.

Creating a workplace where everyone belongs

In the UK & Europe, we’re proud to have over 11,000 people from different cultures and backgrounds. Our goal is to ensure everyone feels included, valued for who they are, and has an equal voice. We create a supportive environment that caters to individual needs and ambitions by integrating fairness into our working practices, procedures, projects, and culture.

Our offices are designed to be accessible and provide spaces for wellbeing and prayer. With reasonable adjustments and flexible working arrangements, we help you thrive in your role and achieve a healthy work-life balance. We train our managers to offer the best support during life events such as menopause, fertility treatment, and family leave.

These values extend beyond our business. You’ll inspire the world around you too. We collaborate with clients to incorporate accessible and inclusive design into our projects, to ensure no one is left behind. We’re committed to designing spaces that are accessible to all and sensitive to human differences like language, culture, gender, age, and neurodiversity. Our "Getting Home Safely" initiative is improving safety for women in public spaces, and we’re advising on accessibility improvements for over 2,500 National Rail stations. Together, we’re creating a better future, and you can help make it happen.

Removing barriers so we can all thrive

Accelerating change requires the right leaders – trusted  people who are active allies, striving for a culture where everyone feels safe and valued.

We work hard to identify and remove barriers to progression and opportunity wherever we find them, aiming to provide equal opportunities for underrepresented groups at all levels, especially leadership.

Our behaviour-based recruitment is designed to be accessible, allowing everyone to showcase their unique talents. We ensure trust and transparency around career progression and offer ground-breaking learning opportunities, including signature training programs. This helps you unleash your full potential, giving you an equal chance of success and enhancing your career.

Becoming a voice for change

We are proud of our culture and are open in sharing our story and the things we have learned along the way to inspire others.

We're actively involved with institutions and industry forums that promote long-term change in construction, engineering, and science.

In our communities, we're passionate about inspiring the next generation of diverse talent to pursue STEM careers. We collaborate with Governors for Schools, providing STEM Governors to influence schools with high numbers of students from underrepresented groups. Through our social value initiatives, we mentor students in areas with low socioeconomic privilege, attend career fairs, and run Net Zero School competitions, encouraging students to design and present inventions that help their school or community contribute to Net Zero.

Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

Our colleague-led (and leadership sponsored) Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) provide supportive communities where each of us is encouraged to speak up and empowered to take action.

A UK based network for advocates of the Armed Forces to collaborate with the Partnering with Armed Forces Programme. Our community includes veterans, reservists, members of armed forces cadet organisations, and spouses. We aim to support these through our current and future initiatives. We also welcome those who are wider family members or supporters and want to get involved.

This employee resource group (ERG) seeks to better understand the challenges affecting ethnic minority employees, to enable discussion around their lived experiences, the challenges faced and ideas around solutions in a supportive environment. The mission? To be influencers of change, encouraging and embracing the creation of a more diverse and inclusive workforce. Read more about Embrace.

We understand that people have varying faiths and beliefs, we want to embrace everyone’s individual relationship with their faith or belief, and we want to celebrate with all faiths and beliefs within our organization. Our Faith Network helps us cultivate an environment in which staff of all faiths and beliefs across the UK and Ireland can have confidence in themselves and feel empowered to bring their whole selves to work.

The Menopause Network supports our staff across the UK and Ireland through what can be a very emotionally and physically challenging time, often when women are progressing in, or are at the peak of, their career. As well as providing opportunities to share experiences, offering support through difficult times and signposting valuable sources of help and information, we are driving change across the business by raising awareness and providing education for all with the ultimate aim of improving retention and supporting equality in the workplace.

Menopause ERG

Neurodiversity refers to individuals with ‘spectrum’ conditions including autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Chances are, we sit next to, work with, work for, manage or have family members at home who are neurodiverse. Our Neurodiversity Network in the UK and Ireland offers awareness, support and a chance to normalise conversations around the topic.

ParentNet is a UK and Ireland based group for everyone with an interest in parenting to ask questions, share stories and support each other. All are welcome to join, whether you’re a parent, parent‑to‑be, line manager, grandparent, aunt, uncle or Super Nanny!


The Returners Programme is for UK and Ireland based professionals with work experience who have taken an extended career break (typically two years or more) and who are looking for a supported step back into a permanent role.


The AtkinsRéalis Youth Advisors Initiative (#YAI) is a vibrant UK and Ireland based network that empowers professionals aged 18–35 to shape the future of the organisation. Focused on amplifying underrepresented voices, #YAI helps ensure that emerging talent is not only heard but actively contributes to shaping the type of workplace where everyone can thrive.

Championing career development, mentorship, and a strong sense of community; #YAI’s greatest strength lies in the two‑way dialogue it enables between leadership and the next generation of professionals. This ongoing exchange of ideas and experiences is what will allow the group to evolve, deepen its impact, and continue driving meaningful change over time.

Measuring progress

It's important to us that our progress is both meaningful and measurable. We're thrilled to have achieved Platinum Accreditation with Clear Assured in 2024, recognizing our hard work and progress. We're proud to be the only company in the engineering sector to hold this standard!

We're also Disability Confident Leaders and a Menopause Friendly Employer. We've signed the Armed Forces Covenant and recently won the “ED&I Organisation of the Year” at the WISE awards.

Of course, there's always more to do. Our action plan is constantly evolving, informed by our employees' experiences and evaluated yearly through focus groups, culture surveys, and intersectional data analysis. Our initiatives are measurable, and we report our progress, ensuring everyone is clear on our achievements and opportunities to improve.

Ensuring everyone is involved

Progress is accelerated when we come together – we must all be part of the difference. So, we encourage everyone to get involved and make their voices heard. We are intentional in communicating the impact that allyship has in developing a culture where everyone belongs and help everyone to develop and deepen their allyship. Our ERGs are central to this, providing safe spaces for discussions.
