About us
At Atkins we help our clients achieve genuine benefits from their business change programmes. We advise at senior levels on complex business problems, but we also take a hands-on role, to ensure the solutions aren't just conceived, they are delivered, and the real-world benefits of the investment can be realised.
Our consulting services are provided across the entire lifecycle of business change from conducting strategic reviews, to facilitating the embedding and adoption of new ways of working. Our change capabilities include supporting and enabling technical, process, cultural and organisational change for our clients across sectors as diverse as aviation, defence, security, transport, energy, water, retail, local and central government. We often work alongside our colleagues in the other parts of the Atkins business world-wide.
Within Atkins Business and Digital Consulting (BDC) Practice, the Change and Engagement (BC&E) team works with its clients to solve some of the most interesting challenges facing organisations today by promoting an innovative and collaborative culture. We seek to develop new ideas and solutions to our client’s current challenges, as well as helping them navigate their businesses through the opportunities that the future will offer.
With opportunities in our Bristol, Cheltenham and London offices, we are looking to grow our team and are looking for people at two main roles:
• Consultant level - ideal for those at the early stage of their career who are technically and/or academically qualified and are keen to pursue a career in Business Consulting or for those who are looking to transfer their previous experience into a consultancy environment
• Senior Consultant level - for those with existing Business Consulting experience and for those who are looking to transfer significant previous experience into a consultancy environment
The Senior Consultant/Consultant role
Helping our clients change their businesses in response to internal and external influences and opportunities is a core capability with our BDC Practice. The focus of the Senior Consultant/ Consultant role is to help our clients through the required business change using the most effective and efficient methods available. Often, our consultants are involved early in the lifecycle helping to shape the client’s objectives before starting to develop the overall change strategy and plan.
The majority of the work will be for our Government clients in the security and defence sectors, but there may be opportunities for you to expand into other sectors over time. Projects will be UK-wide and therefore travel is to be expected for some assignments.
