About the Role
About the Water Team
AECOM's Water specialists collaborate globally to devise innovative solutions for water management throughout the water cycle, aiming to restore water and sustain the natural environment. Our expertise covers projects across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa in areas such as:
- Flood Risk Management
- Hydraulic Modelling and Design (Surface, Potable and Foul)
- Sustainable Drainage Systems and Water Sensitive Urban Design
- Mains Infrastructure Design (Surface, Potable and Foul)
- Non-Infrastructure Design (Pumping Stations, Storage Tanks)
- Hydrology and Water Resources
What You'll Do
As a Civil Engineering graduate in the Water team, you will gain valuable experience on diverse global projects alongside professionals from multiple disciplines. You will develop your understanding of the water industry, including hydraulic, structural, and environmental design, through:
- Undertaking numerical analysis using computer-based programmes for potable, surface, and wastewater systems.
- Conducting technical and feasibility studies to assess the practicality of alternative solutions for water management, including necessary calculations.
- Producing designs for water infrastructure, such as pump systems and pipe networks, incorporating safety in design and creating Designer’s Risk Assessment documents.
- Creating sketches, models, and checking/consolidating final working drawings.
- Staying informed about regulatory legislation and guidelines affecting design work.
- Collaborating with team members on technical tasks, site work, and project management.
- Participating in site visits to gain a broader understanding of design implementation.
Development and Benefits
- Support to pursue professional qualifications through organisations like ICE or CIWEM.
- AECOM’s Graduate Development programme for broader training and networking opportunities.
- Flexible hybrid working model for work-life balance.
- Access to technical practice networks and AECOM University.
- Volunteering days.
