At AtkinsRéalis, we offer more than just a job. We offer an opportunity to make a difference and shape the world to benefit future generations and the environment.
Our UK Environment Practice is a vibrant network of people providing world-class consultancy and advisory services. We care about outcomes for our clients and the unprecedented challenges they face including climate change, social inclusion, and rapid urbanisation.
The work we do is important and influential: it shapes the way our clients think, enables them to make better decisions, and to deliver their projects in a world of disruption and change. Great ideas come from great people when they collaborate and this is our core strength.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
