About the Role
About the Water Team
Communities globally face challenges in managing water throughout the water cycle, including restoring water to sustain the natural environment. AECOM's Water specialists collaborate worldwide to find innovative water management solutions. We offer technical expertise and solutions for 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 various disciplines. You will develop your understanding of the water industry, including hydraulic, structural, and environmental design, through calculations, report writing, and using engineering software. You will work with experienced engineers in a supportive learning environment.
- Perform numerical analysis using computer-based programmes for potable, surface, and wastewater systems.
- Conduct technical and feasibility studies to assess the practicality of alternative solutions for water management, including necessary calculations.
- Produce designs for water infrastructure, such as pump systems and pipe networks, incorporating safety in design and creating Designer’s Risk Assessment documents.
- Create sketches, models, and check/consolidate final working drawings.
- Stay updated on regulatory legislation and guidelines affecting design work.
- Collaborate with team members on technical work, site work, and project management.
- Undertake site visits to gain a broader understanding of design implementation.
Development and Benefits
- Support to pursue professional development through organisations like ICE or CIWEM.
- AECOM's Graduate Development programme for broader training and networking.
- Flexible hybrid working model for work-life balance.
- Access to technical practice networks and AECOM University.
- Volunteering days.
