Graduate Building Surveyor - London (2026 starts)

At AECOM, we're delivering a better world. Whether improving your commute, keeping the lights on, providing access to clean water, or transforming skylines, our work helps people and communities thrive. We are the world's trusted infrastructure consulting firm, partnering with clients to solve the world's most complex challenges and build legacies for future generations.

We have a number of opportunities across the UK&I for Building Surveying graduates to work within our surveying teams, to help provide a range of building surveying services to our clients in the UK and around the world. AECOM provides building surveying services to clients in both the public and private sector, and to organisations in all areas of the Construction Industry including:

From initial project definition and brief, design and specification, through to procurement, construction and building use, you will have an opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients including some very high profile names, often working alongside other construction professionals in multidisciplinary teams.
