Callum Bristol, Aerospace
“As university fees in England have increased so much in recent years, many of my friends have been put off going to university. Some are even studying abroad to avoid a large student debt.
I was keen to look at other ways of getting into engineering - not only due to the cost but also because I wanted to learn engineering in a practical way rather than purely in a classroom setting. I’m now working alongside 700 colleagues in the aerospace sector, developing my skills on real projects for clients such as Airbus and Rolls-Royce. I’m really happy with my decision!”
George Bristol, Aerospace
“I was eager to get into the workplace and make my own way in the world, so the higher apprenticeship route suits me as it will enable me to do this while I study.
I applied to over fifteen apprenticeship schemes. Due to the nature of work and the breadth of disciplines, Atkins was one of my top choices so I was delighted to be offered a place and am now studying towards a foundation degree in mechanical engineering while gaining valuable hands-on experience.”
We think apprenticeships are great and believe they offer a fantastic grounding in the industry.But don’t just take our word for it. Why not listen to what some of our current and most recent apprentices have to say?

Samantha London, Rail Communications Systems
“I’m currently taking a higher apprenticeship in project management, working in the rail communications systems division. Based in Euston Tower, I’m already managing my first project - Hammersmith Lifts Refurbishment - and, while it’s a small project, I’mreally enjoying the responsibilityand chance to learn more aboutdifferent areas of the business andhow they work together. I currentlyspend one week a month at collegeand the work is pretty intensive butthe team are really understandingthat I’m still a trainee and there’splenty of support and advice to helpme succeed.”
Andre
Birmingham, Rail Communications Systems
“I applied for an apprenticeship with Atkins because I thought it would be a good opportunity to move into a new sector.
I’m currently training as a telecoms engineer, working in the rail communications systems division and hope to go on to achieve full chartership status with the Institution of Engineering and Technology. I really enjoy the variety of my work, locations and projects and the balance between working on site and across different Atkins offices is great too.”
James
London, Rail Communications Systems
“If you’re looking for an opportunity to earn and learn a career with Atkins is definitely worth pursuing. Learning does not only take place in college or university but also on the job. I believe lessons learned from work experience are much more valuable than in full time education.
My business unit gave me one day off a week for college and are now sponsoring me to do a part time degree at university.”
“ I’m really enjoying the responsibility and chance to learn more about different areas of the business...”
