“It’s the technical depth, collaboration, and shared purpose within our team that makes working at AECOM so fulfilling." Dion Oulton Team Lead - Geosciences and Remediation Services WA 

Come grow with us. 

AECOM's environmental practice is dedicated to helping industries, clients and governments meet their environmental responsibilities while protecting the natural environment. We provide advisory and technical services to ensure compliance, manage impacts, and reduce risks, including obtaining permits and approvals, decommissioning and restoring contaminated sites, and tackling climate change challenges and resilience. We focus on preserving habitats, water quality, stakeholder engagement and cultural resources, promoting a holistic approach to environmental impact management at every project stage. 

Our national hydrogeology team partners with clients across the mining, energy, infrastructure and government sectors. This role will primarily support our WA team and clients, delivering technically robust groundwater solutions for major projects across the state, while working closely with hydrogeology colleagues and multidisciplinary teams across Australia. The role can be based in any AECOM office nationally, with occasional travel to Perth or project locations based on team and client needs.
