Best Companies | Atmos International Company Profile

Last year, Atmos International won a Queen's Award for Industry in the category of innovation, thanks to its Atmos Wave product. The company provides pipeline leak detection, theft detection and simulation technology to oil, gas, water and associated industries across the world. Atmos Wave detects the negative pressure wave caused by a leak in a pipeline.

It is just one of the developments in software, hardware and instrumentation that the company is responsible for. It helps pipeline operators globally to have more sensitive and accurate equipment, but Atmos's technical leadership in the industry is also one its greatest tools for attracting top talent.

The company recognises that growth comes through the skills of its people and looks after them by making counselling available to anyone requiring wellbeing support. It also runs popular positive-mindset training courses. In a fast-moving technology-led industry, continual training to keep abreast of change is vital to success in the marketplace. Atmos's Training Manager has developed an online technical training programme that updates every week.

A contented and engaged workforce is a source of pride for senior managers, who lead by example and ensure that employees have the resources to maximise their potential. The company also puts its community work effort into using its engineering expertise: staff took part in a clean-up project on a mountain reservation and completed in a day a job that would have taken rangers weeks.

The experience I gain from this job is valuable for my future

The banding system for engineers provides them with a clear goal to progress their career within the company. Instead of having to wait for four years to move from an engineer to a senior engineer role, they can progress from engineer level 1 to level 2 in six months or a year.

My organisation encourages charitable activities

Staff in the Manchester office collected food for the Chorlton and Didsbury Food Bank. They also took part in Christmas Jumper day to raise money for Save the Children. Meanwhile, employees in the company's international offices have been staging their own events — in San Antonio, staff collected gifts for the Salvation Army Angel Tree.
