Job Description

What is this Job about?

Tunnels and underground structures form an increasingly important part of modern-day infrastructure.

You will also assess the related elements such as fire and life safety systems following client specifications and worldwide standards. You will work on a range of underground facilities and tunnels, including metro systems, railway stations, road tunnels, cable tunnels and more.

You will already have experience in some of these areas and be able to apply that experience to AtkinsRéalis projects as part of a small, dedicated and specialist team – such areas will include:
