Job Description

Join us in engineering a better future for our planet and its people.

AtkinsRéalis is a world-leading design, engineering and project management organization. We connect people, data and technology to transform the world's infrastructure and energy systems. Together, with our industry partners and clients, and our global team of consultants, designers, engineers and project managers, we can change the world. We have a strong presence in the Middle East that enables us to build deep and lasting relationships with our clients. We share their goals and long-term ambitions; we're on the same journey to create places and infrastructure which will support long term sustainable development, healthy living and vibrant communities.

AtkinsRéalis is deeply committed to addressing the global challenge of climate change. The AtkinsRéalis' Climate team works across technical advisory in climate change policy, climate risk, adaptation and resilience, international development, climate finance, climate-related financial disclosure (TCFD), Net Zero transition, and nature-based solutions.

Our Climate teams work alongside experts involved in Net Zero transition planning, working across multiple sectors, including transport, water, power, and buildings and places.

Position Summary

Our Advisory Services team's expanding portfolio of projects and clients require advice on climate risk and adaptation across their assets and operations, and we are looking to recruit several people with an understanding of climate risks and climate change advisory services and climate modelling.

For this role, we require driven Consultants to lead and contribute to our work on climate risk assessments, adaptation planning, climate disclosure, and the development of weather and climate services.

The successful candidates will have a background in some or all the following areas:
  • Our climate change work is diverse and includes, for example, the following:
  • Water sector (e.g. assessing the impact of climate change on future water supplies, advising on adaptation options, and TCFD reporting)
  • The transport sector (e.g. climate risk assessment across transport assets and operations, reviewing technical standards and identifying areas which may require additional measures to account for climate change projections)
  • Energy sector (e.g. evaluating the financial impacts of climate change across supply chains and operations)
  • Cities and local authorities and municipalities (e.g. climate risk assessments, adaptation plans, and how to integrate climate resilience into investment decision-making)
  • Working with clients to help them meet climate-related reporting requirements (TCFD, Paris-Alignment, EU Taxonomy, Adaptation Reporting Power, etc) and develop strategies to manage climate risks.
  • Multilateral development banks and governments (e.g. enhancing organisational capacity by developing climate risk frameworks, climate risk assessments for infrastructure investments, and providing advisory support for international development projects, including climate finance)
  • In general, the work combines strategic planning, applied science and economics, climate modelling, evidence-based policy advice, and engineering, supported by other AtkinsRéalis specialist teams in these areas.
Responsibilities:
  • To work effectively as part of a team and with other professionals (sustainability professionals, environmental scientists, engineers, planners, economists) throughout AtkinsRéalis and our partners, to provide a consistent and integrated service to our clients.
  • To contribute to developing offers for our clients to win new projects.
  • To support the delivery of new digital products and and work collaboratively with other AtkinsRéalis businesses.
  • Depending on experience, to support delivery of key service areas such as climate risk assessment, adaptation & resilience planning, climate finance, climate & weather services
Professional Experience / Education & Qualifications

  • Desirable that the candidate has a relevant Master's or PhD in a relevant discipline;
  • Ideally, the candidate has prior post-graduate experience in the climate change industry, preferably in a consulting/ advisory role;
  • Experience in working in project teams/workstreams and in developing proposals/bids to win work from clients is a positive;
  • Some skills in GIS and coding skills in Python or R are positive but not essential (e.g. experience in climate risk mapping and experience in processing climate change data);
  • High-level proficiency in Excel and other Office tools (Word, Teams, PowerPoint).
Behavioural Skills
  • Personal commitment to creating positive impact, climate action, environmental protection, and sustainable development.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills; capable of presenting detailed subject matter to various stakeholders.
  • Excellent organizational abilities.
  • Willingness and ability to interact with regulatory agencies, stakeholders, and clients and develop effective teamwork relationships.
  • Fluency in written and spoken English - knowledge of Arabic would be helpful.

  • Strong report writing, verbal and presentation skills, and ability to review the work of others to ensure quality.
  • Able to prioritise and work effectively under pressure.
