The Atkins Returners Programme is back for 2021
At Atkins we celebrate diversity and have created an environment in which our people, drawn from a range of backgrounds and expertise, are able to achieve high standards of integrity and ethics in the workplace. As part of this diversity, we are currently recruiting talented candidates through our Returners Programme, aimed at experienced professionals with a track record of delivery as Civil, Geotechnical or Building Design Engineers who now wish to return to work after an extended career break of typically 2 years more, who are either economically inactive or now working in lower paid, temporary or part-time roles. Our 6-month Returners programme will help you to ease back into work in a safe and structured manner and help you to rebuild your professional Engineering career from relevant previous expertise and experiences.
Atkins develops individuals through a portfolio of training and development courses that are designed to help you make the best of your abilities and talent, so rather than provide a conventionally structured, one-size-fits-all approach to relaunch your career, you will be given the opportunity to gain support from coaching, your line manager, project or subject mentor, to participate in training courses in accordance with your development plan and to build your expertise whilst working projects within our client-embedded teams.
Why Atkins?
How about being part of the change that matters. Join our organisation, where we have a huge variety of projects on-the-go at any one time. So when you start this role with us, it could take your career wherever your interests lie. You'll find everyone here is willing to pitch in and help because we all want you to succeed, and we're ready to help you grow.
When it comes to living your life, we want you to get the most out of it. So talk to us about all our flexible and remote working policies that can support your personal priorities. Also, ask us about some of our recent pledges for Women's Equality, as well as being a 'Disability Confident' and 'Inclusive Employer.'
