Company

Atkins is a multinational engineering and design consultancy, providing expertise to help resolve complex challenges presented by the built and natural environment. Whether its the concept for a new skyscraper, the upgrade of a rail network, the modelling of a flood defence system or the improvement of a management process, we plan, design and enable solutions.

If you weren’t aware of what we do, it’s probably because our talents tend to remain hidden. Rather than shouting about our achievements ourselves, we prefer to let them be appreciated by other people – as happened recently when we were named by the Times as one of the Top 50 Employers for Women 2013.We are doing much to overcome the perception that engineering is a man’s world. Our stated aim is that one third of our company board will be female by 2015. By the same time, women should make up more than 20% of our senior staff.
