Delivering a better world.
At AECOM we’re driven by a common purpose to deliver a better world. Our clients count on us to think without limits and we partner with them on projects spanning transportation, buildings, water, governments, public realm, energy and the environment, to build legacies for generations to come. AECOM is a great place to work. We prioritise culture, fun and creating an engaging work environment. We offer career development and mentoring for every staff member, as well as social and wellbeing opportunities.

The Role
We are looking for graduate civil/environmental engineers to develop their skills in water and wastewater planning, feasibility studies and design for our internal and external clients.

This will enable you to gather critical information to add value to your design, get experience supervising contractors and building your client liaison skills. You will play an active role in contributing to reports and tenders and will also develop your Project Management skills and commercial acumen.
What to expect:
Graduates – with their fresh thinking and passion for reimagining what’s possible – are critical to our success. Ideas have no borders and this ethos is embedded in our culture. As a graduate, you will have the chance to work alongside like-minded professionals and industry leaders on iconic projects that help shape and connect our cities and communities.
