Job description

Overview

AtkinsRéalis is one of the leading names in the field of Surface Water Management (SWM) and shapes dialogue within the UK and internationally on how drainage should be an integrated part of green blue infrastructure and masterplanning. By joining our drainage national team you will be part of a multi-disciplinary group with a national remit to work with water companies, local authorities, highways and rail authorities and developers on major projects. You will be involved in developing cutting edge digital services for clients and have the opportunity to develop digital processes to enhance the engineering design process. You will work closely with a technical expert(s) in this field and may develop into the regional point of contact for Surface Water Management and Sustainable Drainage Systems (SUDS), providing technical expertise, mentoring graduate engineers and liaising with key clients across the field.

Your Purpose

• Assisting drainage engineers in developing drainage design solutions on multi-disciplinary projects.
• Compliance with the CDM Regulations and safety and environmental requirements.
