Unlike the engineers their only priority would be to repair hull breaches and make sure air is in rooms. Their department could probably be where the arrivals shuttle was and filled with extra air canister and other junk. I guess another responsibility they could have is managing the pod bays and building/upgrading pods and almost acting like fire fighters and emergency space rescue.
Maybe when the atmos rework is finally completed, that gaping void where arrivals used to be could be filled with a dedicated atmospherics department.
I think the station's finally large enough that we actually need one for reasons other than flooding the entire station with plasma/N2O.
Until then, I'm totally on board with atmos techs coming back as space firemen/search and rescue officers.
