Company Description


We are looking for apprentices to join our Water (Civil) Engineering team. AECOM is an internationally recognised leader in water engineering, giving our clients a range of services including planning, design, project management and asset management services. Our Water engineering team remains at the forefront of the drainage and flood risk industry, involved in cutting-edge sustainable drainage and flood resilience schemes both locally and nationally.

Communities around the globe are challenged to find effective ways to manage water throughout the water cycle restoring the water we use to continue sustaining the natural environment. At AECOM, our Water specialists work together worldwide to find innovative solutions to the management of water. We provide technical expertise and solutions for projects 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

Successful candidates will work on projects from initial concept through to construction and operation, fulfilling diverse design, project management, stakeholder engagement, business innovation as well as technical and site assurance roles. Working as an AECOM Water apprentice requires collaborative behaviours, working together with multi-disciplinary specialists to deliver for our clients.

Our current portfolio of works comprises a diverse mix of local, national and international drainage, flood risk, water industry and infrastructure improvements. An example involves design services for Severn Trent Water in their ground breaking green recovery project in Mansfield. This involves the retrofit of tens of thousands of square metres of sustainable drainage features throughout Mansfield, providing improvements in flood risk to 90,000 people.
