Senior Engineer

AtkinsRéalis is looking for a Senior Engineer based in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

AtkinsRealis’s Nuclear & Power business has been operating for over 80 years, with operations based in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, and is fully engaged in the development of the next generation of power and net zero energy projects.

Our Nuclear and Power business is centered in Abu Dhabi and Riyadh, which combined is one of the largest in the region. We provide consultancy support to many of the region’s nuclear, power and infrastructure projects, working closely with other parts of AtkinsRéalis.

We are looking for a talented individual to help us grow our regional capability and deliver our diverse workstreams around power and net zero energy, in particular gas-fired power generation, waste-to-energy, energy storage and renewables. The individual will have a good level of autonomy, and will be working within a vibrant, talented and diverse team.

Your purpose will be:

To proactively meet and develop relationships with new and existing clients to understand their technical challenges and identify opportunities to support them.

Based in either Riyadh or Abu Dhabi, you will lead our technical teams, delivering advisory and owner’s engineer roles to a range of power generation, energy storage and decarbonisation projects across the Middle East region.

To contribute to this, you will:

• be involved in identifying, developing and managing key opportunities and client accounts
• be supported by a range of talented engineers, including graduate engineers, whom we expect you to coach and mentor
• be supported by strong project controls to ensure you can focus your attention on winning and delivering the most exciting energy transition projects in the region

What you can bring:

You’ll have strong interpersonal and communication skills which match your technical skills, in addition to having a sound commercial awareness. You’ll thrive on working outside of your comfort zone on new projects, involving others around you, to ensure the service we give to our clients is beyond their expectations. You’ll have good technical and commercial knowledge in one or more of our key market areas, namely: gas-fired power generation, waste-to-energy, energy storage or renewables.

You will need to have:

• A strong educational background, including a good degree in mechanical, process or electrical engineering, or a related discipline
• At least six years’ experience in the energy consulting sector (not necessarily design or EPC)
• Strong fluency in spoken and written English
