What we do:
“One of the really great things I enjoy working with AECOM is that in my daily work I encounter a wide range of problems, and am given the freedom to experiment and innovate to find a solution. I feel that I am making a difference.”
This is what we do in the Modelling and Appraisal team. In the spirit of AECOM trying to ‘deliver a better world’ we are trying to improve the transport of today for a better tomorrow. Whether we are assessing the impact of town development on a transport network or identifying synergies and inter-dependencies between schemes; we are working collaboratively with the rest of our 30+ transport planning colleagues across Scotland and the rest of the teams in the UK and AECOM to create innovative solutions to the problems our clients are having.
We have:
• A strong team of experts to work with and learn from
• A variety of different teams and opportunities within AECOM for whatever career pathway you want to take
• Exciting projects (some not so exciting, let’s be honest) to work on ranging from local, national and international problems to solve to keep you busy
• A flexible working policy – work/life balance is the key!
• A break out area to socialise in and an on-site café get fresh food from when it is raining and you don’t want to go outside
• Dedicated mentors to help support you in your future training
• A Sports & Social Club, offering summer BBQ’s, bowling, and visits to the Fringe to name a few
• A comprehensive internal training programme to teach you what you may want to learn but haven’t had the chance to yet
• And last but not least, an on-site low cost 24 hour gym, with additional corporate discount
