Surveying Graduate Scheme

Innovation on the cutting edge 

Are you ready to be part of a world-leading, inspiring and ambitious team? We’re making some exciting changes to our company brands and uniting SNC-Lavalin, Atkins, and Faithful+Gould to become AtkinsRéalis. Aligned to this we’re introducing a brand new look.

This is a journey, and it will take time to evolve, so for early careers you will still see us as Atkins for the time being. Please be reassured that this doesn’t impact any of the roles you apply for – we’re still us, just better. 

Atkins, operating under AtkinsRéalis is a leading global consultancy with over 80 years of design, engineering and project management expertise. With us, you’ll join a team that asks questions and dares to see things differently while engineering a better future for our planet and its people.

Join our Graduate Development Programme where you'll be trusted with complex work and supported by your peers, line managers and senior leaders.

We’ll give you everything you need to thrive; from plenty of opportunities in areas you’re interested in, to flexibility for work, life and study – not to mention excellent training and support to develop professionally. Join us: you'll be in great company.

Your role

Join us as a Graduate Surveyor and enjoy exposure to a wide variety of industries, clients and projects. We design with people in mind. And we’ve designed our graduate opportunities to provide you with unique experiences as you play your part in all kinds of challenging projects.

This includes adding value to our clients’ construction journey through expert cost advice and construction technical knowledge, providing clients with strategic cost advice at project conception, or providing party wall, dilapidations and technical due diligence services.

And while you're shaping a safer, happier, more sustainable world, we’ll support you to achieve Chartered status.
