Shape global infrastructure in design engineer jobs in India

India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, and this growth is plain to see in how its infrastructure is being reshaped. This is driving demand for smarter infrastructure to match the scale of growth. Design engineers are key to turning this ambition into reality. 

At AtkinsRéalis, design engineers in India are part of a global network of problem-solvers. Based in our Global Technology Centres, professionals contribute to infrastructure that serves communities and supports India’s commitment to hit net zero emissions by 2070.

Here, we’ll take a closer look at our design engineer jobs in India, what skills you need, why it matters on the global stage, and the opportunities you’ll find at AtkinsRéalis to grow your career and shape the future.

What does a design engineer do in India?

Design engineers in India take concepts and turn them into workable designs that can be built, operated, and maintained. The role of a design engineer spans different sectors, such as transport and water, requiring engineers to think practically while using advanced digital tools.

At our Global Technology Centres (GTCs) in Mumbai, Bangalore, and Gurugram, professionals are embedded into multidisciplinary teams. Design engineers produce drawings, run calculations, and apply BIM to keep projects aligned across time zone-spanning multidisciplinary teams.

The impact of the work in a design engineering job in India is tangible. Our India engineers have supported global projects such as those that improve water quality in London, bring new cultural life to Dubai and connect communities around Washington D.C. On each, India-based talent had a hand in delivering multi-disciplinary design.

Why are design engineer jobs in India vital to global infrastructure?

India’s design engineers play an essential role in global delivery. Rapid urbanisation, climate resilience, and digital transformation are challenges that shape projects both in India and worldwide. Through the GTC model, our design engineers provide expertise and innovation to keep these complex projects on track. 

For design engineers in India, this means being part of work that both solves local challenges and has international impact. The skills of a design engineer helps to shape infrastructure that connects communities, strengthens economies, and improves quality of life worldwide. 

Design engineers in Bangalore and Mumbai are essential to important global projects, such as those that:

  • Improve mobility by supporting designs for metro lines and highways
  • Enhance resilience with drainage, energy systems, and utilities designed to withstand future demands
  • Drive sustainability by embedding low-carbon solutions and supporting our mission of engineering net zero
  • Enable smart delivery through advanced digital modelling and BIM coordination

 

What skills do you need for design engineering jobs in India?

Design engineers in India need a balance of technical skill and the ability to collaborate effectively. Our engineers are encouraged to keep learning and share knowledge to develop these skills further. 

Here’s a look at some of the skills needed to succeed in a design engineering career in India.

  • Proficiency with design platforms like AutoCAD, Civil 3D, Revit, and Navisworks
  • Practical experience with BIM workflows and digital asset management
  • Ability to apply local codes alongside international standards for global projects
  • Clear communication with colleagues across time zones and disciplines
  • Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple deliverables
  • Integrating sustainability into everyday design decisions
  • Teamwork and mentoring
