At AtkinsRéalis, we’re not just designing infrastructure—we’re engineering a better future. As part of our Networks & Drainage Solutions team, you’ll help deliver sustainable, resilient, and innovative civil engineering solutions that support communities and protect the environment.

Due to continued framework successes, we’re looking for an Assistant Civil Engineer who is passionate about water, drainage, and infrastructure to join our Water and Wastewater team in Derby. Our collaborative and multi-disciplinary team is one of the largest in the UK, providing water and wastewater infrastructure services alongside water mains design, drainage design, SuDS and surface water management. Our wide variety of clients span across the UK and internationally and include water companies, local authorities, highways authorities, Network Rail and developers.

Your Purpose

  • Developing your experience by contributing to a variety of wastewater and surface water management projects, with opportunities to support the preparation of technical reports, drawings, and specifications.
  • Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and our recognised industry leaders on initiatives to reduce Combined Sewer Overflow spills and reduce flooding occurrences.
  • Helping shape holistic water management strategies that transcend traditional redline boundaries, with a focus on sustainability, climate resilience, and protecting our communities.
  • Leveraging digital tools and data to disrupt the status quo, driving innovation and efficiency across the water and infrastructure sectors.

What You Can Bring

  • A degree in Civil Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Enthusiasm for civil, water, and environmental engineering.
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills.
  • A proactive approach to learning and professional development.
  • Working towards, or interested in pursuing professional accreditation (e.g., ICE or CIWEM).

Why work for AtkinsRéalis?

We're ranked as one of LinkedIn's Top 25 Companies, where UK professionals want to work and stay once, they join. We've also made the Times Top 50 employers for women.

Our Infrastructure team uses innovation, new approaches and the power of data to help our clients deliver end-to-end projects and programmes for essential future infrastructure. And as the work becomes ever more complex, our employees continue to challenge the status quo.

We're committed to engineering better for people and our planet, from our global Engineering Net-Zero programme to creating social value through EDAROTH community housing. We're proud of our active employee networks creating awareness and allyship for our under-represented groups. Not to mention programmes supporting communities outside AtkinsRéalis, including schools, charities, ex-forces and professionals returning after career breaks.
