Mechanical Engineers, Building Services Engineers (or other numerate discipline) Tunnel Ventilation Engineer

What is this Job about?

Tunnels and underground structures form an increasingly important part of modern day infrastructure. This infrastructure provides economic, societal and environmental benefits through the facilitation of the efficient and rapid movement of people below-ground. This may be in mass transit systems, high-speed rail lines or in highway tunnels.

We are looking for bright and enthusiastic mechanical engineers (or other numerate discipline) to join our tunnel ventilation team to help us plan, design and enable tunneling projects worldwide and ensure that our tunnels and underground structures are safe, comfortable and reliable.

As a tunnel ventilation engineer, you will design and analyze tunnel ventilation systems for both normal and emergency operations. You will also assess the related elements such as fire and life safety systems following client specifications and worldwide standards. You will work on a range of underground facilities and tunnels, including metro systems, railway stations, road tunnels, cable tunnels and more. You will already have experience in some of these areas and be able to apply that experience to Atkins projects as part of a small, dedicated and specialist team  such areas will include:

    Planning, designing and installing ventilation systems for tunnel projects.

    Working on a range of systems to ensure tunnels are safe.

    Planning and overseeing commissioning, operation, refurbishment and upgrade of tunnel infrastructure.

    On-site inspection and performance testing of tunnel ventilation systems.

    Applying fluid mechanics and thermodynamics for fire and ventilation modelling.

    Implementing fire safety engineering, risk analysis and evacuation analysis.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for you to bring a range of experience to our team, including elements of the following:

    Experience of tunnel ventilation, fire and life-safety design, gained in road, rail and/or metro tunneling schemes.

    Working towards chartership but if you are chartered we would also like to hear from you.

    Proven numeracy skills and experience on 1D and 3D modelling (such as IDA, SES, FDS).

    Excellent technical skills acquired during your academic background with a bachelors or masters degree.

    Experience in related industries such as in building services, with an aptitude for and interest in the numerical analysis and modelling aspects.

In addition to that, we expect:

    High motivation to succeed, and to progress and develop your career.

    Personality compatible with a high degree of collaborative and teamwork in multi-disciplinary and international projects.

    Communication and writing skills which are able to produce clear and concise reports or presentations.

    Willingness to travel on short assignments within the UK and overseas for dealing with challenging projects or participation in reputed conferences.

Introducing Atkins:

Atkins has an impressive current portfolio of road, rail & metro tunneling projects both in the UK and overseas. In the Middle and Far East, Atkins has delivered major design commissions for, amongst others, the Doha Metro, Qatar road tunnels, Hong Kong Airport, Qatar LRT, Dubai Metro and Jeddah Airport transit tunnels; In the United States and Canada we are developing an increased presence and are engaged in significant tunnel projects including the I70 Denver Road Tunnel, Floyd Hill tunnel, various metro lines in Canada, as well as Nashville International Airport. In the UK, the Tunnel Ventilation team continues to support major projects including the Lower Thames Crossing, A303 Stonehenge, M25 tunnels and others. We have recently delivered a Scheme Design for the major refurbishment of the Heathrow Road Tunnels and continue to deliver services for major UK clients including HS2, London Underground, National Highways and Network Rail. In northern Europe, Atkins is expanding and developing opportunities on tunnel projects together with its offices in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

Currently, we are seeking to expand the current team of dedicated technical specialists to deliver these exciting commissions, exploit opportunities for growth and to extend our capability in underground technology further within the UK and worldwide through our global, connected practices.

Introducing the Team:

Our specialist Tunnel Ventilation team works across a range of engineering disciplines and applies advanced analysis techniques, combined with practical design, operational and site experience. We provide support to clients throughout the project life cycle, from the planning and feasibility stages through to commissioning, operation, refurbishment and upgrade of tunnel infrastructure. We are a close-knit specialist team, and we love what we do. We work hard to ensure an inclusive and mutually respectful environment which fosters collaboration and innovation. Our open mindset unlocks creativity and helps us to deliver better outcomes both for our clients and the users of the infrastructure we design.
