Atkins

Company description

Atkins is a global engineering, design, architecture, and project management consultancy founded in 1938 in the UK by Sir William Atkins. Over the decades, it has grown from its civil and structural engineering roots to become one of the world’s leading multidisciplinary consultancies—working across infrastructure, buildings, transport, energy, environment, and urban planning sectors. In 2017, Atkins was acquired by Canadian company SNC-Lavalin, which has since rebranded to AtkinsRéalis, integrating Atkins into its broader portfolio while retaining its global footprint. Atkins operates from hundreds of offices around the world (more than 300 in 28+ countries before the acquisition) and is known for delivering complex, large-scale public and private sector projects with a strong emphasis on technical excellence, sustainability, and innovation.
