For a nation like Australia, building robust defence capabilities is not just a governmental priority but a critical aspect of national security. Global geopolitical shifts and technological advancements mean there is an increasing need for a connected defence approach that balances innovation with effectiveness. At AtkinsRealis, our commitment to supporting Australia's defence capability leverages both local and global expertise. Whether you're interested in how we're building this capability or seeking a new career opportunity in this field, this post offers an insider look into what sets our approach apart.
AtkinsRealis' commitment to defence capabilities
AtkinsRealis combines decades of global experience with localised, tailored solutions for the Australian defence industry. We specialise in delivering expertise for defence projects, from cutting-edge engineering systems to critical naval technologies. Our global Defence Nuclear Enterprise, spanning shipyards and advanced digital platforms, provides a depth of knowledge that makes us uniquely positioned to contribute to Australia's evolving defence needs.
With decades of lessons learned across the United States, the United Kingdom, and beyond, our solutions draw on proven methodologies to enhance efficiency, security, and scalability. Our approach supports the strategic interests of Australia, ensuring our defence industry remains resilient in the face of challenges.
Beth Fitzpatrick leading the way in defence consulting
Meet Beth Fitzpatrick, our Defence Consulting Lead in Australia, whose expertise aligns perfectly with AtkinsRealis' defence strategy. Having joined AtkinsRealis as a graduate engineer, Beth's passion for aerospace, defence, and technology led her to thrive in various roles, leveraging her expertise across international projects. Today, she plays a pivotal role in establishing AtkinsRealis within Australia's defence market.
Beth's typical day can range from delivering technical solutions and building client relationships to guiding a growing team tasked with critical defence projects. "No two days are the same," she shares, as she oversees integrating global expertise into local solutions in new sectors such as naval nuclear technology.
Beth believes AtkinsRealis is unmatched in the defence sector. "Our global experience, delivered locally, equips us to tackle challenges across the entire defence value chain. From shipyards to digital platforms, AtkinsRealis offers strategic solutions that truly make a difference."
The importance of local capability building
A core aspect of our defence strategy is developing local expertise to ensure long-term capability. While leveraging our global experience is a significant advantage, we recognise that empowering Australian professionals is essential to strengthening the nation's defence initiatives. This includes training local talent, fostering partnerships, and enhancing collaboration across key industries.
Building local capability also helps overcome challenges related to working across multiple governments, regulations, and security pacts like AUKUS. By tailoring global knowledge to specific Australian contexts, we aim to bridge gaps in expertise and establish a strong, decentralised foundation.

Your network is your biggest ally
Growth in the defence industry requires not only technical innovation but also powerful networks. This sentiment is echoed by Beth Fitzpatrick, who stresses, "Your network is your biggest ally. Defence is a small world, and so is systems engineering. Engage with working groups and build connections; often, the people you meet on these occasions will be instrumental in solving challenges in the future."
For aspiring professionals eager to establish themselves in the defence sector, being part of a supportive, innovative organisation like AtkinsRealis presents unparalleled opportunities. Join us to grow your technical skills and contribute to projects that directly impact global and national security.
AtkinsRealis is not just shaping Australia's defence capability but also providing career paths for talented professionals eager to make an impact. With exciting opportunities across the defence industry, we invite you to explore roles in consulting, technology, and engineering.
