Faithful+Gould

What Faithful+Gould does

Faithful+Gould is a project and program management, cost consultancy, and advisory services firm operating as a wholly owned brand within AtkinsRéalis Group inc. (TSX: ATRL), a Canadian-headquartered global engineering services and nuclear organization. The firm was founded in 1947 and acquired by WS Atkins in 2014; it now sits inside AtkinsRéalis following the 2023 corporate rebrand and Toronto Stock Exchange listing. Faithful+Gould serves government agencies, infrastructure operators, and industrial clients globally — including the UK Government (HS2, Department for Transport, National Highways), UK Ministry of Defence, Ontario Power Generation, Calgary Transit, Réseau express métropolitain (REM), Thames Water, McGill University Health Centre, US DoD/FEMA, National Grid, Heathrow Airport, University of Glasgow, and Hana Pharm — across eight vertical segments: Buildings & Places, Transportation, Water, Nuclear, Power & Renewables, Industrial, Minerals & Metals, and Defense.

The firm's service portfolio spans consulting, design, project and program management, operations and maintenance, capital project delivery, and decommissioning. Its technology backbone includes proprietary tools such as the Design Production Management (DPM) Suite, Digital Twin platform, VUEWorks asset and work management software, City Simulator (climate resilience modeling), Virtual Site Access, and the Lava Labs innovation hub, alongside the Construction Data Intelligence analytics platform and CANDU MONARK next-generation reactor technology. Strategic technology partnerships with Esri (geospatial intelligence), NVIDIA (nuclear-powered AI infrastructure), Type One Energy (stellarator fusion), and Boston Dynamics (Spot Robot for nuclear decommissioning) extend the firm's capability surface.

Faithful+Gould generates revenue through professional services fees on project-based engagements and managed services contracts, with quote-based pricing and no public rate card. Distribution is exclusively enterprise direct sales — competitive tenders, government framework agreements, and direct appointments — with no SMB or consumer channels. The firm is indirectly owned by SK Holdings, a South Korean strategic operating company that took AtkinsRéalis private in 2021 before the 2023 public listing.
