We use the term bioresources in the UK to cover the solids extracted from wastewater treatment both untreated (sewage sludge), and after further treatment and stabilisation (biosolids), however, across the world we use the term to cover recovery of a wider range of organic resources from resource-rich solid, gaseous and liquid outputs created by the water sector and adjacent sectors, industry and from similar treatment processes.
At AtkinsRéalis, due to significant success in the UK and global bioresources markets, our Bioresources Team is growing exponentially. We are therefore on the lookout for enthusiastic individuals at all levels from recent university graduates to water industry professionals.
You’ll be joining an exciting, dynamic team that provides asset management, strategy, regulatory, technical and operational advice to enable our clients to make the right strategic decisions and successfully implement their strategies.
