  • Collaborate with client, operational, project, or service activities within your immediate team and other related AtkinsRéalis teams.
  • Provide mentorship to less experienced colleagues and help to grow the Clean Water Process Engineering capabilities within the local team.
  • Work independently with minimal technical guidance. Exercise personal judgement to solve difficult problems where appropriate and provide guidance to junior team members.
  • Provide technical support for bid proposals.
  • Work closely with a multi-disciplinary team in the UK and overseas to deliver integrated design solutions.
