Energy:

Enabling the energy transition through innovation and sustainability.  

AECOM's Energy Business Unit houses three specialised practices — nuclear, renewables, and transmission & distribution. Each practice plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of energy, offering innovative solutions that balance efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. 

We are looking for energy professionals with varying areas of expertise/experience to join our rapidly expanding renewable energy team. You will be based in our HUB offices within easy reach of either Edinburgh, Glasgow, or Bristol, working to a flexible hybrid approach. 

Renewables  

We’re committed to playing our part in the urgent transition from carbon-intensive energy sources to less centralised and more flexible energy systems. Our teams of energy professionals link up across our global network of offices to provide solutions, designs, and support to clients in multiple technical and deployment areas such as: on and offshore wind power, solar power, hydropower, carbon capture, alternative fuels, hydrogen and, crucially, energy demand assessment and carbon reduction.  With an associated deep commitment to sustainable solutions, we combine our engineering and scientific skills with those of our environmental colleagues to try to achieve equitable and biodiverse outcomes. 

Start here. Grow here.

Are you ready to join a very experienced, growing, industry-leading Renewables team, and develop your skills on transformational work which will make a huge impact towards delivering the energy transition?

You will be responsible for undertaking a technical role on projects within our energy business; typically our projects are associated with the generation, storage, transmission and distribution of energy in the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

You will be deployed to work on different projects, depending on their specific area of engineering expertise, and will include providing support for the following types of technologies.

• On and offshore wind
• Solar PV
• Hydroelectric – run of river and pumped storage
• Grid connection works – cable route and substation civil
• Hydrogen production and storage
• Battery energy storage systems (BESS)

Projects include all stages of design from feasibility to detailed design and site construction supervision. Our clients are a mix between large energy utility generators to private developers.
