Welcome to AtkinsRéalis.

You might know us for the great work we do across our huge variety of projects.

Flexible working is part of our culture, so talk to us about your priorities inside and outside work. You won't need to sign up for a 9-to-5, five-day week, full-time contract. Our office spaces can accommodate quieter individual work or team working where you can connect and socialise. And if being based at home suits you better, our IT systems will make your days just as easy and effective. If you have family responsibilities or just need to wait for a tradesperson or service your car, AtkinsRéalis will work for you.
