ATKINS

Business facts
Atkins is a multinational design and
engineering consultancy
We provide expertise to help resolve
complex challenges presented by the
built and natural environment.
We’re proud to be pioneers in Carbon Critical
Design and we put sustainability at the
heart of every design question we’re faced
with. By taking an integrated approach to
eco-friendly design, our business stays
responsive to the ever-growing need to
minimise environmental impact for the
benefit of all.
When it comes to carbon reduction, we
practice what we preach. Our Bristol office
has been rated ‘Excellent’ by the industry
leading measure, BREEAM (Building
Research Establishment’s Environmental
Assessment Method). As well as providing
a contemporary work space, this building
incorporates energy saving features like an
air conditioning system without any moving
parts and a rain harvester on the roof.
The cutting-edge projects we’re working on
have a real impact on people’s lives. Take
our visionary remodelling of Birmingham
New Street station, or our back-to-basics
approach to reduce the congestion at
Oxford Circus. Our pioneering diagonal
design will help around up to 40,000 people
per hour to move freely around one of the
busiest crossings in the world.
Then there is ‘Anaconda’, a 200 metre long
rubber tube which will create energy by
‘pulsing’ under the sea. The latest tests
show that the output will easily rival any
other renewable source of electricity,
meaning Anaconda represents a genuine
breakthrough in marine technology.
Our Graduate Development Programme
Our programme is designed to give you
choices about how your career unfolds.
Gaining invaluable experience on a range
of influential projects, you’ll work alongside
some of the brightest people in the industry
to achieve your chosen professional
accreditation. Your mentor will help you
shape your own development, and you’ll be
part of a true community getting together
for graduate events and sharing knowledge
via a dedicated graduate network.
We think Atkins makes a great place for
graduates who aim higher. But don’t just
take our word for it. We’re in The Sunday
Times 20 Best Big Companies to Work For
in the UK and we’re also a Times Top 100
Graduate Employer. For the fourth year
running we were voted Most Popular
Graduate Recruiter in Construction and

Balfour Beatty is the UK’s largest

and utility systems, buildings and complex
structures on time, within budget and
to our customers’ satisfaction – and
with the greatest respect for safety,
the environment and the communities
we work in.
How it feels
A new hospital. An award-winning bridge. A
new airport terminal. These are just a few of
the prestigious projects you could work on
as one of our employees. It’s an unbeatable
feeling; whether you’re directly involved
with the design and construction or work
behind the scenes, the sense of pride and
achievement is exhilarating. That’s what
makes working at Balfour Beatty so
different. Here, the fruits of your labour are
there for everyone to see. Very often, they’ll
be things that are vital to our society, such
as schools, hospitals, and road and rail
networks. Usually, they’re nothing less
than essential.

something that people will be using daily.'
James, Project Engineer
What you'll do
As a Balfour Beatty graduate, you will have
immediate exposure to significant and
challenging projects that give you all the
opportunities you need to learn, develop
and apply your skills. You might start with
the development of high speed rail links
or the construction of motorways and
highways, new schools and hospitals.
But whatever it is you find yourself doing,
you can rest assured that it will have a
lasting positive impact on people’s lives
and their communities.
'I joined Balfour Beatty because they offer
a huge range of projects in different areas
of civil engineering.'
Jenefer, Graduate Engineer

practical on-the-job experience. You will
also gain the opportunity to achieve a
professional qualification with one of the
major engineering institutions (ICE, IMechE,

Throughout your career, the same
experts who've helped us establish an

each day. Training may involve moving to
different projects, a number of structured
placements, or even a secondment to

supported by an experienced mentor at
every stage.

hesitation, given me increasing levels of
responsibility and prepared me for more

NETWORK RAIL

Business facts
Network Rail delivers, manages and
develops the transport network that makes
Britain work. From tracks and signals, to
stations, viaducts and tunnels, their remit
is huge, the effects far reaching. Right now,
they’re facing Britain’s biggest challenges
head on. While enabling three million
passenger journeys every day, not to
mention freight traffic, they’re developing
a railway that’s fit for the 21st century.
Rail is the greenest, safest form of travel in
the UK. Unsurprisingly, it’s also the busiest
it’s been for 60 years. With a predicted
growth of 30 per cent over the next ten
years, there’s an unprecedented period of
change ahead, and no doubt there will be
many challenges along the way. To make
sure they’re ready for the demands of
tomorrow, Network Rail have £34.6bn
of investment and will be recruiting 135
graduates into a range of disciplines.
No other scheme can offer such a breadth
of opportunity for graduate engineers.
Already behind some of the most important
projects in the country, such as the £9bn
redevelopment of the West Coast Mainline,
Network Rail has big plans for the future.
In fact, they’re managing one of the leading
Engineering portfolios in Europe. If you’re
lucky enough to join them, you could see
yourself becoming part of schemes such
as Crossrail, the single, largest civil
engineering project in Europe. It’s a chance
for you to cut your teeth on some of the
most exciting work available: work that
will literally change the face of Britain.
The Civil Engineering programme is
structured around the Institute of Civil
Engineer’s list of core objectives –
awareness, knowledge, experience and
ability. You’ll enjoy development that is
broad ranging and varied. That will mean
spending time with contractors and
consultancies, learning how to marry
150-year-old structures with state-of-the-
art developments and working on a range
of fascinating, exciting projects. With every
step you’ll make a genuine and real impact
on what the company delivers.
You’ll become part of a team – that will give
you the opportunity to see, first-hand, the
way the organisation manages, maintains,
designs and renews all of their structures,
earthworks and property. Problem solving
doesn’t get much bigger than this. Not
only will you need a relevant degree and
accreditation, you’ll also need to possess a
logical mind and the ability to work at pace.
You’ll succeed if you’re able to think round
challenges, to balance considerations and
to never rely on the easy solution.
