Job Description

You might know AtkinsRéalis for the great work we do across our wide variety of projects. We're proud to say this is thanks to our people's diversity of thought, expertise, and knowledge. And when you join us, you'll be a part of this genuinely collaborative environment, where everyone's voice is valued and treated equally.

We're passionate about what we do, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. Simply put, this a great place to be. So, when it comes to your life outside of work, ask us about our flexible working policies designed to help you get the most out of life.

The roles we are seeking to fill sit within the Business Transformation team in our Transportation business, which has an excellent record of delivery for a wide range of clients including some of the largest public and private sector organisations in the UK, particularly in rail, highways, and local transport markets. We create a culture and environment to inspire, ensure collaboration with our clients and continue to shape the future of mobility.

The UK transport sector is delivering some large and ambitious changes. In the current climate, maximising effectiveness in delivering against long-term funding commitments from Government is critical to support our economic growth. Our clients face key challenges in defining and delivering their long-term programmes, maximising the value of assets, and embracing new technologies so that they can deliver the best outcomes for users and for the economy.

These challenges are driving the need for change in the way our clients do business, enabling them to deliver their investments and meet their strategic priorities.

Our Team:

Our Business Transformation team is supporting leaders to think differently by re-aligning their strategic priorities, providing support to re-organise their businesses and develop processes to support new operations. We help uncover and then overcome cultural and organisational challenges which are hindering success.

We do this by:

• putting people at the heart of all we do and taking time to understand what really matters,
• respecting knowledge and complementing it with our own, and
• committing to valuing, inspiring, and empowering everyone to be successful-ensuring organisations, projects and programmes have the best chance to deliver on their commitments.

We believe that both our own and our clients organisations, projects and programmes thrive because of people; their culture and strength of relationships. Engaged and motivated people, in the right environment and with the tools, capabilities and recognition they need, will thrive.

We want to hear from you:

We are looking to recruit multiple talented individuals across Managing Consultant, Principal Consultant, and Senior Consultant positions, who are passionate about leading excellence in transformation and business change. Like our team, these individuals will take pride in delivering an authentic and hands-on-approach to understand our clients' business challenges and help achieve their ambitions.

The roles we hope to fill will enhance our existing business consulting expertise: organisational and operational design; implementing and managing transformational change programmes, including cultural and behavioural leadership; business performance improvement; benefits realisation; strategy setting; and complex stakeholder engagement.

You will have responsibility for delivering excellent client-facing work and fostering a network of professional working relationships, where you understand and help our clients solve multi-faceted business issues.

As an experienced and highly skilled member of the team you will manage and lead projects and workstreams, bringing together the skills of the team and wider business, to deliver measurable outcomes.

You will be expected to support achievement of challenging operational and consultancy revenue targets, undertaking bid management and delivery activity, and providing input to the development and delivery of our transportation strategy.

The roles are based out of our offices in Manchester, York or Leeds. Travel to attend client sites across the UK and overseas, as required, is key.

What you can bring:

We are looking for people at Managing, Principal & Senior Consultant levels that bring a blend of change capabilities and techniques to suit different situations. These might include:

• Operational improvement and organisational development.
• Sustainable change and implementation management.
• Cultural and behavioural development.
• Business process improvement - continuous improvement.
• Communications and stakeholder engagement.
• Strategy development- both business and delivery.
• Team Development and mentoring.
• Research and analysis.

You will need to:

• Hold at least a degree or equivalent qualification (post-graduate qualification and relevant technical certifications in change/business development activity would be desirable).
• Hold or be willing to work towards Chartered Management Consultant (ChMc) status.
• Be able to lead across competing tasks and operate successfully even when under pressure.
• Be a highly collaborative individual; developing and maximising the value of stakeholder networks within and outside AtkinsRéalis, including with our market facing teams.
• Have well-developed emotional intelligence with the ability to flex your style to suit different stakeholders and support others to do the same as part of wider development activity.
• Demonstrate the potential to work as part of a highly collaborative team, supporting team dynamics and prioritising team goals to help develop the business.

A background in the Transportation sector is preferable but is not essential.

Why work for AtkinsRéalis?

Our Transportation teams are reinventing transport for a challenging yet exciting future. We're creating new ideas and smart solutions for cities, people and the environment. You'll be working alongside some of the top people in our industry, solving challenges that bring together traditional engineering and new technologies. As part of our organisation, you'll be in a privileged position, delivering what's right for governments and communities. You'll be helping us to improve our leading environmental performance while enabling others to do the same.

Security clearance:

This role may require security clearance and offers of employment will be dependent on obtaining the relevant level of clearance. If this is necessary, it will be discussed with you at interview. The vetting process is delivered by United Kingdom Security Vetting (UKSV) and may require candidates to provide proof of residency in the UK of 5 years or longer.

We are committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community - a place where we can all be ourselves, thrive and develop. To help embed inclusion for all, from day one, we offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements and employee networks to support staff from different backgrounds. As an Equal Opportunities Employer, we value applications from all backgrounds, cultures and ability.
