Job Description

AtkinsRealis is looking to grow our team of process engineers within the Nuclear EMEA business. If you have the passion to join some of these exciting projects, then we would love to hear from you.

About us:

We work collaboratively to solve technical challenges across the entire project lifecycle, from concept design to decommissioning. Our day to day activities include production of process engineering deliverables (process sizing calculations, heat & material balances, P&IDs, etc.), process modelling, and process safety activities (HAZID/HAZOP studies, DSEAR assessments, etc.).


We collaborate across the AtkinsRealis business to provide our technical expertise where it is needed the most, giving our clients the best engineering solutions. We strengthen the delivery of work through a variety of means, including full-time embedded resource within client offices, site-based roles, and in-house engineering support from AtkinsRealis offices. At all times we are focused on providing high quality work to the client.

What you can bring:

We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds and skills, and take a strengths-based approach to interviewing, looking to fit roles to the applicant's strengths to allow them to support the development of their own careers and success of the business. We are looking for people who can lead a small team of engineers, understand the commercial aspects of our work and be confident in front of our clients. We are looking for qualified engineers (BEng/MEng in Chemical or Process Engineering), with IChemE chartership if possible. Experience in the nuclear industry would be ideal. We welcome the learning you can bring from other industries, but an understanding of nuclear basics is expected. Let us know if you have specific skills, such as using chemical process simulation software packages to design, optimize, and troubleshoot chemical processes, or perhaps experience in working on a model-based systems approach (MBSA) project. We expect you to communicate well in written and verbal form. We want you to enjoy mentoring and guiding junior engineers and be keen to take a key role within the department.

So, you'll be creating the right safe and resilient systems across nuclear power, renewables, decarbonisation development, new builds and energy efficiency.


We value your diversity and believe that everyone deserves to thrive - no exceptions. You'll be part of a culture committed to finding new talent from underrepresented groups.
