Why AtkinsRéalis Norway? Thriving on innovation, expertise, and sustainability

Hi, my name is Sarah Esma. I'm a Senior Consultant at AtkinsRéalis, and based in Norway. As a project manager with a background in mechanical engineering, I do a lot of work in rail and infrastructure.

The only way to do great work is to love where you work 

I appreciate the exciting mix of employee growth, team spirit, and constant innovation. The company's focus on nurturing skills, be it through training, mentorship, or challenging assignments, fuels my professional journey. Collaborating with a diverse and talented bunch improves our work and makes the workplace lively. AtkinsRéalis' leading-edge innovation keeps me on my toes, pushing my boundaries. This blend of growth, collaboration, and innovation keeps me loving life at AtkinsRéalis.

Thriving on diverse projects: from securing Oslo's trams to managing Ireland's motorways

I've worked on exciting projects! As a Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety (RAMS) advisor for Oslo's trams in the Rolling Stock division, my role was all about ensuring their reliability, safety, and efficiency. I managed risks, identified hazards, and found ways to lessen those risks. My guidance in developing RAMS strategies, safety assessments, and adhering to safety standards aimed to boost the trams' overall performance and safety.

On the infrastructure side, I've been part of a team assisting Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) in managing their motorway network through the four-year MCAAS Project. We're supplying expert road maintenance, design, and supervisory staff, and I've been working on supervision, monitoring, auditing and advisory services. What's incredible is that I collaborate with AtkinsRéalis' Dublin team while in Oslo, thanks to AtkinsRéalis' global reach and strong digital communication. This allows us to share information, collaborate in real time, and benefit from each other's expertise and perspectives through modern technology and digital platforms. Working in this way contributes to increased efficiency, stimulates creativity, and fosters a global work culture.
