About Our Team:

Communities around the globe are challenged to find effective ways to manage water throughout the water cycle, while protecting communities from flooding and 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 across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, in areas such as:

• Mapping for Communities at Risk of Flooding
• Production of Flood Forecasting Models and Flood Warnings
• Hydrological Assessments
• Low Flow and Drought Condition Assessments
• Watercourse Pollution Modelling
• Surface Water Modelling for Flood Risk
• Wastewater Modelling

Our hydrologic and hydraulic modelling graduates gain valuable experience working on a variety of global projects alongside a multitude of different disciplines. Our graduates are encouraged to develop their understanding of many elements within the water industry, such as design, optioneering and optimising of water management and flood risk solutions, report writing and use of modelling software. You will work alongside our experienced consultants as you develop these skills within a positive culture where learning and development is actively supported and promoted.

An integral part of your role will be hydraulic modelling, analysis and presentation of data. You may be involved in field work such as site visits, and also contributing to client communications and meetings to present deliverables and technical reports. Your initial focus on gaining technical experience will gradually transition into taking more responsibility for interpreting data and optioneering processes.
