Company’s presence in the Kingdom extends to over half a century
Atkins inaugurated its new office in Riyadh to drive its expansion in Saudi Arabia, by increasing resources for existing clients and developing new opportunities for growth.
The inauguration was attended by Grant Porter, CEO, Atkins, Middle East and Africa; Adrian Lindon, Atkins Managing Director of Design & Engineering; Campbell Gray, Faithful+Gould Managing Director, Middle East; Johan Hesselsøe, Atkins Acuity Managing Director, Middle East; Spencer Wylie, Faithful+Gould Country Director, KSA, and Nassib Al-Sibassi, Director, Atkins Acuity.
“For half a century, we have helped our clients in Saudi Arabia deliver a multitude of iconic projects, and are proud to have been part of the Kingdom’s transformation,” said Porter.
Working together as a blended team of international, regional and local expertise, Atkins was involved with large infrastructure projects such as the Riyadh Metro, to cultural destinations such as the Diriyah Gate Development that is set next to the At-Turaif District (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) in addition to lifestyle destinations such as the Avenues and Mall of Saudi shopping malls in Riyadh.
Saudi nationals have also contributed to different key projects across the company’s offices in the Middle East and United Kingdom, including over 100 Saudi nationals working on major projects for the Saudi Arabian National Guard over a two-year period.
The Atkins business also includes the Faithful+Gould and Atkins Acuity capabilities and service offerings. Faithful+Gould provides integrated project and programme management consultancy, independently or alongside Atkins.
