Earning and learning as a civil engineering apprentice

Did you know, our five most popular apprenticeships are Civil Engineering, Surveying & Project Management, Aerospace & Digital? 

Meet Raj, one of our talented Civil Engineering Apprentices at AtkinsRéalis. As a Level 3 technician, his role is producing and amending drawings for projects. Working hand in hand with engineers, he ensures his drawings express everything necessary for the construction phase.

I feel trusted to get the job done by senior staff. For example, I was recently tasked to amend and complete a package of drawings by a certain deadline. This made me responsible for my own time management. I succeeded and delivered before the deadline.

My line manager has supported and encouraged me to develop my career in different ways that interest me. I had an opportunity to work in the Structures team where my work was more drawings-based, working with engineers and doing calculations. I had to learn how to use new software which improved my technical skills. I’ve also had experience on the Signals team, focussing on allocating business resources, such as training. And most recently, I've been on site visits with the highways team to check out the work on smart motorways.

I can further expand my career and not be stuck in one sector. It has given me the realization of freedom within the company.

I'm proud to part of an organization pushing digital transformation to make the world a better place. And my goal is to continue the art of innovation, creating new and efficient ways to shape the planet for future generations. Work in the company of creators, apply for an apprenticeship with us.
