Did you know you don't need to be an Engineer to make an impact on the world around us? Below you can meet some of our graduates who joined AtkinsRéalis from a wide variety of degrees and background.
Surveying Graduate
I joined Project and Programme Services as Graduate Quantity Surveyor in September 2021; during a pandemic when most graduate roles were being withdrawn in the sector. I joined Project and Programme Services with absolutely no industry experience but had completed a Masters Degree in Quantity Surveying as a mature student. Since joining Project and Programme Services I have gained invaluable practical experience on a national framework agreement and have recently been given the QS Lead role with one of the Contractors on the agreement. I was also recently appointed the Wellbeing Champion role on this strategic partnership. I have found myself involved with the Embrace Network, the companies network for the BAME community, taking on the role of events lead.
I have found that the company has supported me as much as I've needed on the Graduate scheme. I joined the Cambridge office and have found my colleagues to be supportive in all crazy ideas such as an office Choir that sang at a local care home. From someone who had no industry experience in any capacity, I can say that the Graduate scheme is definitely developing me into an industry expert. I continue to look forward to the challenges this scheme holds.

Maths Graduate
I studied an integrated bachelor’s degree in Mathematics, with a study abroad year at the University of Leeds before joining AtkinsRéalis in Sept 2019 as a Graduate Software Engineer. Upon joining AtkinsRéalis, I worked on the Hinkley Point C project where AtkinsRéalis is performing static verification on the reactor protect system to ensure its safety. In my second year of the graduate scheme, I started work on the Barakah Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) project, based in the UAE.
As a non-engineering graduate, I have felt fully supported in building my software skills and trusted to develop software solutions, present to clients, and lead training early on. Furthermore, throughout my career, AtkinsRéalis has ensured that my career aspirations are considered and given me the opportunity to work on multiple interesting projects.
