Values & Culture

Atomhawk begins and ends with its people. Our extraordinary team allows us to achieve feats which would be impossible alone. We commit collectively to giving everyone the creative freedom to grow, as artists, designers, engineers and as people.

Our differences make us better professionally and culturally; they’re to be celebrated and they’re a strength. By setting ourselves the highest standards for planning and precision, and staying not just up to date, but one step ahead, we make sure our work is exceptional, every time.

We take training and development seriously. Everyone should be moving forward, pushing the limits of their potential. Our structured career development pathway is linked to a grading system. Monthly one-to-ones, plus biannual appraisals help staff progress and map out future plans.

All staff have the opportunity work on training and development objectives throughout the year, some of which are set by management, some by individual team members. Our management and leadership teams provide structured support on defined training tasks.

  • Second interview – We may hold a second interview so additional members of the team can meet you. This is also a great chance for you to ask us any extra questions you might have.
  • Offer – If you’re successful, you’ll receive an offer of employment via email. Unsuccessful candidates at this stage will receive an email with personalised feedback.

During the application process, you won’t be judged on your name, your gender, your sexuality, your ethnicity, your age, your religion, or any other factor unrelated to your ability to do the job.

Our managers undertake mandatory EDI training and are committed to making our workplace more inclusive for underrepresented team members, including through the implementation of reasonable adjustments. This is a workplace where all employees feel safe, welcome, and represented.

Our Studios

Gateshead, UK

In the centre of North East England’s art scene, on the Gateshead quayside, the studio is flanked by galleries and theatres, live music venues, pulsing nightlife, and eclectic shopping. Newcastle’s three minutes on foot, the beach is 15 minutes by Metro, and (it’s a cliché but it’s true) the people are super friendly.

Leamington Spa, UK

Wide boulevards, stunning architecture and award-winning parks provide a sophisticated backdrop to this Regency town. Leamington Spa combines a treasure-trove of independent, specialist boutiques alongside high street brands and a huge variety of eating experiences.

Remote

Working remotely works brilliantly for some Hawks, improving their work/life balance and lifting their wellbeing. Though we love a fun and healthy office culture, we also support the prospect of working for the company you choose without being limited by your geographical location.
