Harikrishnan's journey: Bold choices and big impact at AtkinsRéalis

At the time, it felt like stepping off the well-paved road. But watching the company grow from 15 people to over 300 showed me the impact digital thinking could have. I wasn’t just learning tools—I was learning how to scale operations, mentor teams, and drive innovation from the inside out.

As part of the Digital Design Services (DDS) team, I’ve helped shape and deliver a range of digital capabilities—5D, Design Data Analytics, Information Management, 4D, 6D, Design Automation, and more. 

One of my proudest moments? Building our Data Driven information management service from the ground up—what started as an idea became a full-scale, value-driven capability. 

To stay ahead in this ever-evolving space, I’ve continued to upskill myself—recently earning the BIM Project Information and Asset Information Practitioner certifications from BSI Training Academy—ensuring we bring global best practices into our digital delivery approach.

And now, as a Capability Lead, I focus on scalable digital workflows across the UK, US, and Middle East—blending BIM, automation, and data-driven delivery.

“You are responsible for your career.”

Every opportunity I’ve had—from switching paths to creating new services—came from believing in what I had to offer and being empowered to act on it.

That’s what I value most at AtkinsRéalis. It’s a place where you’re trusted to lead, encouraged to explore, and supported to grow not just professionally, but personally too.

At AtkinsRéalis, we empower people to lead, innovate, and grow just like Harikrishnan. If you’re ready to take the road less traveled and make your mark on the future of engineering and design, explore opportunities with us.
