AECOM Graduate Stories

As a structural engineer, I am responsible for the safety of people who are the end users of my designs.

If I could offer some advice to grads, I’d suggest they try everything and say yes to every opportunity — you never know where you may end up!

I am looking forward to new, different, challenging projects this year that allow me to improve outcomes in public infrastructure and innovate in the way we approach investment in infrastructure.

One piece of advice I would give to someone interested in a career in infrastructure and engineering would be to try as many different aspects of the industry as possible.

Engineering is a diverse and wide-ranging degree, so there’s definitely something for everyone. Variety is the spice of life!

Being part of a global organisation means that we get to contribute to some of the most inspiring – and challenging – projects.

I decided to study engineering because I always enjoyed problem-solving and finding out how things work, so engineering seemed like the natural thing to study.

As a structural engineer, your career prospects are endless. From skyscrapers and stadiums to cranes and conveyors, every facet of infrastructure in the world requires structural engineers.
