“It’s a very exciting time to be working in science, technology, engineering and maths. Not only do we get to make a positive difference to people’s everyday lives through our work, whether providing transport, housing or energy, we have an opportunity to shape a different future where new technology is combined with traditional engineering to push the boundaries further than ever. We hope that by discussing details about the fantastic work our people do and the fascinating projects they work on we can ensure students leave Big Bang North West as enthused about STEM as we all are.” – Atkins Global.
Atkins is one of the world’s most respected design, engineering and project management consultancies, employing some 18,600 people across the UK, North America, Middle East, Asia Pacific and Europe. They build long-term trusted partnerships to move the world forward and enrich lives through the implementation of their ideas.
They advise and support public and private sector clients with the delivery of complex infrastructure projects, building relationships based on understanding and integrity, working collaboratively, and exploiting technology wherever they can.

So, whether it’s providing the social and economic infrastructure to enable cities to flourish against the backdrop of rapid urbanisation and ever increasing pressures on resources, or the accelerated connectivity of people and places fuelled by technology and big data, where others see challenges, they see opportunities to transform things for the better.
