If this describes you, we want to hear from you and discuss how we can support your career development!

We have recently become a Delivery Partner for the Environment Agency’s latest framework, aiming to better understand climate change impacts and flood risks in England. Under the 2024 Mapping and Modelling Framework, AtkinsRéalis will provide survey, mapping, modelling, incident management, hydrological, and other professional services to assist in climate event planning.
