Data Science Graduate

I studied English Language and Literary Studies at uni. However, I pivoted to a career in data science after interning with a team of data scientists. Inspired, I pursued a master's degree in Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics, where I developed a passion for solving complex problems. I joined AtkinsRéalis for its dynamic environment, where I can apply my technical skills to diverse projects, collaborate with talented teams, and contribute to cutting-edge technologies. The opportunity to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application aligns perfectly with my career goals.

Non-engineering graduates are vital to our team. We bring essential skills in business, communication, and project management. As a Data Analyst, I turn complex data into actionable insights, enhancing decision-making and optimizing outcomes. My work, from asset valuation to AI-driven solutions, keeps me motivated and constantly learning. The supportive culture at AtkinsRéalis has provided invaluable mentorship, helping me grow and contribute meaningfully. These experiences have deepened my technical skills, broadened my industry knowledge, and significantly advanced my career.

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.
