At Atkins, we help our clients achieve genuine benefits from their business programmes. We advise at senior levels on complex business challenges, but also take a hands-on role to ensure the solutions are actually delivered and that the intended benefits of the investment are realised.
Atkins isn’t like other management consultancies. Because of our wider, real-world expertise – delivering transformative projects and making strategies happen across public and private sectors – we know how to implement change in practice, not just on paper. We’re there to see change through from start to finish, whatever challenges arise. Our clients value the fact the we deliver at pace using the latest Digital and Agile methods, whilst applying discipline and care around complex infrastructure and government programmes of national importance. In short, we deliver rapid results in the most challenging of environments.
Helping our clients change their businesses in response to internal and external influences and opportunities is a core skill for our Business Analysts. We work with clients to solve some of the most interesting challenges facing organisations today, from augmented reality to artificial intelligence. Our wide-ranging clients include central government, defence, airports, universities and infrastructure. The team comes from diverse backgrounds that cover the spectrum of services giving them an innovative and creative approach that is key to its success. Everyone in the team is passionate about their work and the value that they can deliver.
Atkins set high standards of integrity and ethics for our people. When joining Atkins, you benefit from a working environment that prioritises integrity and we also expect each individual who joins us to display these characteristics.

The

You will be given significant responsibility and exposure to our clients and be
expected to act as an ambassador for our business. You will be accountable for
the overall quality and timeliness of the delivery of assignments and the role
may also require you to lead an Atkins team responsible for specific project
outputs.
Our consultants are also expected to help develop and grow our business. This
may include contributing to bids or managing a bid team, and developing new
business propositions or researching potential new markets. We want you to help
us grow our business by:
• Managing and working within multi-disciplinary teams (at our clients’
premises and in our Atkins’ offices) to deliver excellent results for or
clients.
• Leading the analysis of processes and operations, using appropriate tools and
techniques to identify improvements and/or efficiencies in accordance with
client objectives. This will include facilitating workshops to engage people,
gathering inputs to your analysis and sharing emerging ideas and conclusions.
• Preparing reports and presenting to a range of client stakeholders.
• Contributing to the development of Operational Improvement tools, techniques
and methods that can be shared to build capabilities within our Operational
Improvement team and Business Consulting practice.
• Contributing to sales – including bid development and sales presentations to
clients.
• Supporting the development and delivery of marketing campaigns.
We are looking to grow our team and are looking for people across two main
roles:
Consultant level - ideal for those at the early stage of their career,

experience and for those who are looking to transfer significant previous
experience into a consultancy environment

to advise others.
The successful candidate will be given significant responsibility for
client-facing work from day one. All our consultants are expected to have

organisational development, culture change, IT-enabled change, business process

development and delivery

recognised modelling standards and notations.
It would also be desirable to have knowledge and practical experience of

Practice and service development
You are an excellent team player with the ability to communicate and engage at
all levels with a variety of stakeholders
You can demonstrate an ability to transfer skills and knowledge to colleagues
You are proactive in your approach to work and enjoy working with a variety of
people as well as being comfortable with progressing work independently
Business development
You either have experience or potential to support or contribute to the sale of
Business Consulting work – including bid development and presentation delivery
You have strong commercial acumen and are comfortable with managing bids and
end to end assignment financial management
Additionally, you will display the following characteristics;
A passion for developing technically, professionally and behaviourally
A collaborative team-player who delivers great results and operates to high
behavioural standards and business ethics
An ability to deal with competing tasks and operate successfully even when
under pressure
A strong emotional intelligence and the ability to flex your style to suit
different stakeholders, and is confident and self-assured in putting forward
your views and able to hold your own with senior stakeholders
Ideally
you will have a relevant degree and/or relevant professional qualification
(such as BCS CITP status, ISEB Diploma in Business Analysis or IIBA
accreditation). You will have experience of agile and waterfall delivery, and
possibly how the BA works in a DevOps environment.
Why work for Atkins?
With Atkins you will be in a trusted, supported position, primarily client
based, where you are able to apply both existing skills and develop new skills
in complex and challenging situations. You will be able to share your knowledge
and experience and learn from others within the team and you will have
opportunities to become a mature, established and multi-skilled consultant.
