Job DescriptionOur UK &amp; Ireland business can provide a comprehensive portfolio of multidisciplinary engineering skills, with our structural engineers playing a leading and influential role in the development of building projects. We’re currently engaged in a vast array of building projects from world class sporting venues through to commercial properties, healthcare, higher education and research facilities, hotels and resorts, industrial and manufacturing developments. These projects are located both in the UK and increasingly overseas. Some examples of current projects in the Structural Engineering Practice include:<ul><li>Houses of Parliament, London - AECOM are the structural engineers for the refurbishment of Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben), as well as the lead engineers for the Northern Estate Programme, comprising refurbishment of four separate listed buildings to the north of the Palace of Westminster.</li><li>British Museum, London – AECOM provided multi-disciplinary services for the British Museum.  This has included a variety of projects including the exciting Visitor Welcome Programme to reimage the entrance to the main museum with the design of new pavilions and gardens to welcome visitors through the north and south entrances.</li><li>Foreign and Commonwealth Office Seismic Retrofit Programme, Various Locations – This global project involves the structural investigation and design of existing overseas British embassy buildings to ensure the facilities are safe and resilient in the event of earthquakes. Work on this programme has been undertaken in Europe, Africa, Asia and South America.</li><li>Elizabeth Line, Paddington Arch, London – The design and delivery of a new steel framed structure, constructed within an existing Grade I listed building at Paddington station was a significant challenge. This required a collaborative project approach to navigate appropriate heritage consents, assess cost and constructability implications of our proposals, and coordinate with the various other project disciplines and stakeholders. </li><li>No.1 Palace Street, London – Structural Engineers for the redevelopment of No. 1 Palace Street comprising six existing buildings which together form an urban block.  The site lies directly to the south of Buckingham Palace within the Birdcage Walk Conservation Area, and two of the buildings are Grade II listed along with 160m of historical façade which was retained.</li></ul>All of our buildings are conceived, designed, and constructed in a collaborative way to ensure they meet the often wide-ranging requirements of the client brief, within the constraints of time and budget, all while still performing sustainably. Increasingly, we work with our other internal business lines such as architecture, building services engineering, environment, transportation, project management and cost management to deliver an all-encompassing service to our clients and their projects. We wish to recruit graduates who are enthusiastic about improving the built environment, who can bring that passion and flair to their work, and who want to apply their recently acquired engineering skills to the real world on interesting and impactful projectsJob Responsibilities As a graduate launching your career with AECOM’s Structural Engineering Practice, you will be placed in the specialist Heritage and Refurbishment team and paired with an experienced engineer. With support from your wider team, this mentor will guide and support you through the initial stages of your career with a focus on working on heritage, refurbishment, and fit out projects. This provides an exciting opportunity to implement design of new structural elements, while also navigating the constraints of the existing structures, developing innovative and creative solutions to address these challenges.Your key responsibilities may include the following:<ul><li>Assisting in the development of our projects through the different design stages</li><li>Developing analytical and design skills</li><li>Producing designs, calculations, sketches, diagrams, design intents and final working drawings for various elements of a building structure under the supervision of an experienced engineer</li><li>Collecting and analysing data under the supervision of an experienced engineer</li><li>Using various tools at your disposal to solve engineering problems</li><li>Attending meetings and workshops with other design professionals such as architects</li><li>Liaising with other disciplines within the project team to coordinate designs</li><li>Performing work in accordance with agreed upon budget and timescales under supervision</li><li>Contributing to hazard elimination and reduction</li><li>Conducting site visits during the construction phase of projects to inspect the works</li><li>Contributing to a wide range of projects as the workload dictates</li></ul>You will start working on live projects almost straight away, as we believe the best way to learn is through real world, on the job experience. This experiential learning will be supplemented with training from a variety of sources specific to the Structural Engineering Practice, as a part of our ICE accredited training scheme. This will include lunchtime training seminars and formal training courses.This training is designed to provide you with a holistic development experience, bridging the gap between university and the world of work. You will be empowered to fulfil your potential, and make a valuable contribution as a structural engineer at AECOM.Some of the topics your training and development will focus on include:<ul><li>Design methods for various structural elements using a range of structural materials,</li><li>Practical application of current design software that allows us deliver design solutions efficiently and effectively</li><li>The skills necessary to present our engineering solutions – including sketching and the use of 3D drawing in Revit</li><li>Commercial awareness and contracts</li><li>Health &amp; Safety</li></ul>This training will ensure you have a full set of design skills and are equipped to engage confidently with the wider design and contractor teams. Through the course of your graduate scheme, you will develop confidence in designing in a variety of structural materials and building types. You will also begin to develop an awareness of commercial arrangements, contract and procurement types, and how they impact our work. As you develop, you will be given more autonomy and responsibility for your designs.
