Our Impact Assessment team are currently recruiting a graduate into our Edinburgh or Glasgow office for a Summer start. Please note that we will not commence interviews for this role until Feb/Mar 26.

Impact Assessment is part of the Environment business, which comprises around 730 professionals across the UK and Republic of Ireland. The team delivers environment and sustainability solutions to both public and private sector clients and plays a leading role in addressing the climate and biodiversity emergencies.

It comprises the following practice areas:
Acoustics;
Air Quality;
Ecology;
Geospatial & Data Services;
Heritage;
Landscape;
Water Environment;
Impact Assessment;
Planning;
Climate Change, Sustainability & Resilience;
Stakeholder Engagement; and ESIA & ESDD (international environment and sustainability work). Our Impact Assessment work includes:

• Coordinating multidisciplinary environmental inputs across a wide range of infrastructure development projects, helping them to gain development consent
• Working with clients and design teams to identify environmental constraints, avoid impacts and develop solutions, as well as delivering benefits where possible
• Coordinating the preparation of environmental assessment reports
• Post-planning consent support to projects (including during project construction and operation)

AECOM are at the forefront of delivering Environmental Impact Assessments for the nationally significant infrastructure projects that are providing for our future. Key projects include sustainable energy generation and transmission and water distribution.

We need people with inquiring minds who can ask the questions to understand and then shape projects to achieve environmentally beneficial outcomes. The ability to work with people with different perspectives is essential to understand what Clients really need, what the design means and how it matters to stakeholders. So, communication – verbal and written – to interact with others and seek understanding, is important, but we accept that it is a skill that develops over time.

We like people with an appetite to learn and develop – taking personal responsibility, but understanding how to confirm that we are getting to a good outcome.

At AECOM, you'll enjoy a range of core and personalised benefits designed to support your future and well-being, customised to fit your lifestyle. Take advantage of career development opportunities, our flexible hybrid working model to ensure a work-life balance that suits your lifestyle, technical practice networks, AECOM University, and volunteering days.
