Our Aviation Infrastructure team is based across Basingstoke, Croydon, Manchester, Birmingham and London offices and is passionate about creating innovative, resilient, and sustainable solutions for airports of all sizes, including major commercial hubs, greenfield airports, general aviation airfields and military installations. Team members receive individualized development plans to support career progression and contribute technical solutions throughout the project lifecycle – from master planning and feasibility to detailed design, construction and handover.
Responsibilities- Design airport engineering projects including runways, taxiways, aprons, vehicle service roads, aeronautical ground lighting and signage installation, navigational aids, drainage improvements, utility relocation and protection, and pavement rehabilitation on a wide variety of civil and military multi-disciplinary aviation projects.
- Produce 3D models, 2D drawings and data-rich digital deliverables, applying automation and scripting (Dynamo, Python and Civil 3D APIs) to streamline production.
- Manage models and documentation in Project Wise and Autodesk Construction Cloud, implementing and managing BIM workflows in compliance with ISO 19650 and project BEPs.
- Organise and take ownership of assigned tasks in alignment with project programme and budgets.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary design teams, including airport planners, architects, engineers and digital leads across the UK and Europe; attend client meetings and contribute to discussions on developed designs.
- Assure model validation, coordination and clash detection using Navisworks Manager, demonstrating commitment to AECOM’s Quality Assurance processes.
- Improve digital standards, libraries and templates for continuous enhancement.
- Advanced Autodesk Civil 3D capability (corridors, surfaces, pipe networks, grading, data shortcuts) and experience working on multi-disciplinary infrastructure projects.
- Strong knowledge of BIM processes beyond Level 2 and ISO 19650 information management.
- Proficiency with Project Wise, BIM 360 / ACC, and Navisworks Manage.
- Experience using Dynamo, Python, or Civil 3D automation tools.
- Experience in design, planning and construction support of civil engineering projects; experience within the airport environment is highly desirable but not essential.
- Knowledge of DMRB or highway civil engineering design.
- Knowledge of Civil Aviation standards and recommended practices (ICAO, EASA, CAA, FAA, MAA).
Flexible hybrid working model, career development opportunities, technical practice networks, AECOM University, volunteering days, and a broad range of compensation, benefits and well-being programs designed to support a healthy work-life balance.
