About the Role

AECOM is looking for a talented and motivated graduate to join our Road Drainage team. This is an exciting opportunity to develop your technical career in drainage and hydraulic engineering, with a focus on the design and assessment of drainage systems associated with roads and transport infrastructure.

You’ll work on a diverse range of projects, supporting the development of safe, resilient and sustainable solutions for managing surface water and drainage. Your work may include drainage design, hydraulic calculations and modelling, flood risk assessment, surface water management and the development of sustainable drainage solutions.

Working alongside experienced engineers and other technical professionals, you’ll gain exposure to projects across the full lifecycle, from feasibility and concept development through to detailed design and implementation. You’ll also have opportunities to work collaboratively with other disciplines, giving you a broader understanding of how drainage and hydraulic engineering contributes to the successful delivery of major infrastructure projects.

What You’ll Do

As a Graduate Road Drainage Engineer, you’ll work closely with experienced engineers who will provide guidance, mentoring and technical support as you develop your knowledge and professional skills.

Your responsibilities will grow as your experience and confidence develop, giving you increasing exposure to live projects and technical deliverables.

Your work may include:

• Supporting the design and assessment of drainage systems associated with roads and transport infrastructure.
• Undertaking drainage and hydraulic calculations and technical assessments.
• Assisting with the development of drainage strategies and surface water management solutions.
• Supporting hydraulic modelling and analysis of drainage networks and watercourses.
• Assisting with the design of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and other sustainable water management solutions.
• Supporting flood risk assessments and the development of flood mitigation and resilience measures.
• Assisting with the design and assessment of culverts, outfalls, attenuation systems and flow control structures.
• Collecting, analysing and interpreting site, survey, rainfall, drainage and hydraulic data.
• Participating in site visits, surveys and inspections to understand existing drainage infrastructure and site conditions.
• Supporting the preparation of technical reports, calculations, specifications, drawings and other project deliverables.
• Using relevant drainage, hydraulic modelling, CAD and digital engineering software as appropriate to project requirements.
• Developing your understanding of relevant design standards, legislation, guidance and industry best practice.
• Working collaboratively with engineers, environmental specialists and other technical disciplines.
• Attending project meetings and contributing to discussions with colleagues, clients and other stakeholders.
