Overview

Bring your project management experience. Support secure delivery. Make an impact.

At AtkinsRéalis, Project Managers bring structure, control and confidence to secure, complex delivery.

You will work alongside project, technical, commercial and transformation specialists who value clear thinking, reliable controls, good governance and shared learning.

Your role

As a Project Manager within our Delivery Optimisation sub‑practice you will work in secure, client‑facing supplier delivery environments where structure, judgement and reliable controls matter. The scope of each role will reflect your experience, from managing defined deliverables or smaller projects through to taking broader accountability for more complex contracted assignments.

• You may define delivery roles and ways of working, manage plans, schedules, risks, quality arrangements and reporting, and monitor progress against cost, schedule, quality, commercial and contractual commitments.
• You may also manage suppliers, partners or internal delivery teams, support client‑facing governance, and identify opportunities to strengthen delivery, resolve issues and add value within the scope of our contracted work.
• For more complex assignments, you may coordinate multi‑disciplinary delivery teams, manage dependencies and support the successful delivery of agreed outputs, outcomes and benefits.

All roles are subject to a minimum of three days in the office, either onsite with our clients or at one of our AtkinsRéalis offices, pro‑rated for part‑time employees. We are open to discussing flexible and part‑time working patterns where these can support both the role requirements and individual circumstances.

About You

• Project management experience in supplier‑side, consultancy or complex internal delivery environments.
• Experience supporting or leading project activities such as planning, governance, reporting, risk, assurance, finance, commercial management, change or delivery control.
• The ability to work with data, delivery tools and project information to support effective decision‑making.
• Clear communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with project teams, stakeholders, suppliers and clients, particularly where expectations, deliverables and responsibilities need to be managed carefully.
• Commercial awareness, including budgets, forecasting, cost control, change control and contractual commitments appropriate to the role.
• An understanding of project delivery lifecycles, governance and the importance of robust controls in complex environments.
• A proactive, collaborative and considered approach, with the judgement and professionalism to operate effectively in secure, client‑facing supplier delivery environments.

Benefits & Rewards

You will benefit from purpose‑driven work at the heart of secure‑government delivery, hybrid working with time onsite to build relationships and access secure systems, opportunities to build your project delivery capability and take on broader accountability as your experience grows, training, tools and frameworks to support planning, governance, risk, assurance, commercial management and project controls, and a supportive delivery community with access to experienced colleagues, mentoring and practical development opportunities.
