As a Senior Engineer - Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS), you will play a key role in the delivery of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) projects supporting AECOM's Global Transport and Infrastructure business. Working within a global delivery model, you will contribute to the design, integration, documentation and coordination of ITS solutions across major road, tunnel, motorway, rail and smart infrastructure projects.
You will work closely with regional project teams, clients and multidisciplinary engineering teams to develop practical, reliable and innovative solutions that meet operational, safety and performance requirements. The role requires a strong balance of technical capability, stakeholder engagement and collaborative problem-solving, with a particular focus on working effectively across geographical, cultural and organisational boundaries.
Here is what you will do:
- Contribute to the design, specification and integration of ITS systems across transportation and infrastructure projects.
- Prepare and review engineering documentation including technical reports, specifications, design criteria, datasheets, drawings, calculations and scope documents.
- Support the design and implementation of systems such as CCTV, VMS, communications networks, fibre optic infrastructure, incident detection systems, and associated control systems.
- Coordinate interfaces between ITS, electrical, communications, civil, structural and operational disciplines.
- Collaborate closely with regional project teams to ensure technical deliverables align with client expectations, project objectives and applicable standards.
- Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, systems integration activities and multidisciplinary coordination workshops.
- Support testing, commissioning and operational readiness activities where required.
- Assist in the development of project estimates, work plans, schedules and resource planning activities.
- Contribute to continuous improvement, digital engineering initiatives and the development of technical standards and best practices.
- Mentor junior engineers and support capability development across Enterprise Capabilities.
Here’s what we’re looking for:
- Able to work independently on complex technical tasks while seeking clarification where the design basis is incomplete.
- Accurate and disciplined, with a strong record of self-checking and document control.
- Clear communicator who can collaborate confidently across countries, cultures and disciplines.
- Organised and able to manage multiple priorities and deadlines without losing control of quality.
- Proactive and solutions-focused, with the confidence to raise technical concerns and risks early.
- Collaborative and willing to mentor colleagues, share knowledge and support team delivery.
- A systems thinker, able to hold the whole ITS solution in view while working on one part of it.
- Comfortable resolving interfaces where the boundary between ITS, electrical, communications and civil scope is not cleanly defined.
- Able to turn operational and safety requirements into practical, verifiable technical specifications.
