Job Description

Start here. Grow here. Are you ready to join a team of talented engineers and shape the future of airports? Our Aviation Infrastructure team is based in our AECOM Basingstoke, Croydon, Manchester, Birmingham and London offices and are passionate about creating innovative, resilient, and sustainable solutions for airports of all sizes - including major commercial hubs and greenfield airports to general aviation airfields and military installations. We welcome applications from experienced civil engineers who are looking to build a career in aviation.

If you're keen to apply your engineering skills to a new and exciting sector, we'll provide the support, mentoring and development needed to help you succeed. We're particularly interested in engineers with a strong civils design background gained within aviation, highways, rail, roads or other major infrastructure environments.

No aviation experience? No problem. You don't need previous aviation experience to apply. We're looking for civil engineers with strong engineering fundamentals, a collaborative mindset and a desire to learn. If you've worked on highways, transportation, public realm, rail or other infrastructure projects, your experience is highly transferable, and we'll help you develop the specialist knowledge required to design runways instead of roads.

Each team member has a development plan to provide a clear pathway to personal development and career progression. The team provides technical solutions throughout the project lifecycle from masterplanning, feasibility, preliminary and detailed stage designs and construction and handover. Our clients are many and varied from both the private and public sector and include airport investors, airport operators and major contractors.

Here's what you'll do:

• Design: Contribute to the design of airport infrastructure including runways, taxiways, aprons, service roads, drainage, utilities and airfield systems. You'll work alongside experienced aviation engineers who will support your development in airport-specific design.
• Produce: Engineering calculations, reports, drawings and technical specifications throughout the project lifecycle.
• Investigate: Support site inspections and asset condition surveys, helping clients make informed investment decisions.
• Organise: Take ownership of assigned tasks, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver high-quality engineering solutions.

And let's not forget about the perks at AECOM. Invest in your future with tailored benefits and career development opportunities designed to help you thrive. Enjoy flexible hybrid working that supports a healthy work-life balance and fits your lifestyle. Learn from the best through AECOM University, technical practice networks, and continuous professional development. Shape your career with clear progression pathways and opportunities to work on impactful projects. Give back to your community with dedicated volunteering days to support causes you care about. Personalised benefits that adapt to your lifestyle, supporting your health, well-being, and future goals. Be part of a collaborative culture where innovation, learning, and professional growth are encouraged every day. Build a career with purpose while enjoying benefits that help you succeed both inside and outside of work. Come grow with us.

If you're passionate about innovation and turning bold ideas into reality, AECOM welcomes you. Join our team, where we don't just design airports, we connect cities, regions and counties to drive economic growth, and build legacies for future generations.
