Shape the Future of our cities and environment.
Are you ready to make a vital contribution to shaping some of our exciting projects? We invite you to join our talented team, where everyone has a voice and together we tackle our clients’ challenges head‑on. We provide a diverse and inclusive work environment where world‑class talent faces no distinctions.
As an Associate Director in ICA Engineering you will play a vital role in all aspects of business development and ICA engineering on transformational programmes for critical UK infrastructure, with opportunities to work on iconic engineering projects at home and abroad.
We specialise in all aspects of instrumentation and control/automation across multiple challenging sectors such as Water, Aviation, Defence, Energy, Cities & Development, and Education. We continue to deliver industry‑leading engineering solutions through the project lifecycle, adding value through client‑side support and construction phases. If a passion for this industry drives you, we would love to talk to you.
We currently have opportunities in our Bristol office.
Your Purpose
Own and direct teams who undertake technical design work following relevant design standards and codes, and to high‑quality levels.
Define briefs, scopes of work, and contribute to bid proposals.
Successfully manage time and budgets to key project milestones and programmes.
Work closely with teams in the UK and overseas to deliver integrated design solutions.
Set quality assurance standards in design.
Grow, develop, and manage ICA engineering capability within the practice.
What you can bring
Chartered Electrical/Instrumentation Engineer.
Experience owning design delivery, including multidisciplinary design.
Knowledge of ICA design (instrumentation, PLC and SCADA systems), motor control systems, system architecture, fieldbus/communication networks, P&ID's, ATEX installation practice, functional safety, development of control specifications (URS/FDS), schedules and system requirements within process/industrial environments.
Knowledge of current UK design standards, working practices and national guidance.
Why work for AtkinsRéalis? We are ranked as one of LinkedIn’s Top 25 Companies, where UK professionals want to work and stay. 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 clients deliver end‑to‑end projects and programmes for essential future infrastructure. As the work becomes ever more complex, our employees continue to challenge the status quo.
We are committed to engineering better for people and our planet, from our global Engineering Net‑Zero programme to creating social value through the EDAROTH community housing. We take pride in active employee networks that raise awareness and allyship for under‑represented groups, and we support communities outside AtkinsRéalis, including schools, charities, ex‑forces, and professionals returning after career breaks.
Security clearance This role may require security clearance, and offers of employment will depend on obtaining the relevant level of clearance. If necessary, this will be discussed with you at interview. The vetting process is delivered by United Kingdom Security Vetting (UKSV) and may require candidates to provide proof of residency in the UK of 5 years or longer. If applying to this role please do not mention any current or previously held security clearance in conversation or in your CV.
We are committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community—a place where we can all be ourselves, thrive, and develop. From day one, we offer a range of family‑friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, and employee networks to support staff from different backgrounds. As an Equal Opportunities Employer, we value applications from all backgrounds, cultures and abilities.
