Grow Your Career In The Water Sector - Expression of Interest

Start here. Grow here. Shape the future of water.

At AECOM, we’re not just delivering engineering solutions - we’re shaping resilient, sustainable water systems for generations to come.

As we start to deliver AMP8, the UK water industry’s next five-year transformation and a record-breaking £104 billion investment in water infrastructure. That’s 77% bigger than AMP7. It’s bold. It’s ambitious. And it’s all about reliability, sustainability, and digital innovation.

For you, that means career-defining projects, the chance to tackle complex challenges head on, and the opportunity to create solutions that will benefit communities for decades to come.

AECOM’s record success in AMP8:

We’ve achieved a 100% win rate on recompete contracts and secured new positions on additional frameworks to grow our UK&I Water business, with framework values more than double those we recorded in AMP7. This gives us a great position to build on our reputation as the No. 1 Water design firm globally (Engineering News-Record).
