The AECOM Energy team are looking for talented Computational Designers to join their growing digital team. As a Graduate Computational Designer at AECOM you will be incorporated into design teams and encouraged to use your understanding of computational design methods to develop or optimise processes used on real-life projects.

You will work in collaboration with a diverse range of engineers, particularly, civil, structural, process and MEP, where you will have the opportunity to learn the engineering design requirements while having the freedom to explore improvements to design processes which we feel could be enhanced.

This is an exciting opportunity to work for a global design consultancy and on high profile projects, using cutting edge technology and processes to overcome real-life design engineering problems. Graduate Computational Designers will work with experienced engineers who will guide and mentor them during their time at AECOM. They will work on live projects where their role will include:

• Evaluating the need for new computational, parametric and automated design methodologies
• Documenting and presenting how the new methodologies enhance the design process and deliver adaptive solutions
• Preparation of proof of concept for new automated, computational or parametric design processes to demonstrate value for money
• Liaise with project teams about how to integrate new solutions into existing projects and design processes
• Development of computational design tools/solutions
• Assist in the development of parametric object libraries

Our Graduate Development Programme (ADVANCE) along with our huge scope of projects across the globe will challenge and inspire you to make a real difference to the world we live in. Our GDP forms a core part of our business strategy globally, designed to develop the best talent across numerous disciplines to lead our business into the future.

We shall provide you with all the tools and support you need to achieve your professional development ambitions, including Chartership with the relevant international professional institution (we have graduates working towards more than 30 professional institutions in the UK and Ireland). We shall push you to achieve the highest standards and expect our graduates to pass their professional review first time. You will be assigned a mentor to support and guide your development, and you will take regular training modules throughout the programme. There will be on-the-job technical development and classroom training where required, and the opportunity to work on live client projects with significant multi-disciplinary exposure.
