Job Description Our UK & Ireland business can provide a comprehensive portfolio of multidisciplinary engineering skills, with our structural engineers playing a leading and influential role in the development of building projects. We're currently engaged in a vast array of building projects from world class sporting venues through to commercial properties, healthcare, higher education and research facilities, hotels and resorts, industrial and manufacturing developments. These projects are located both in the UK and increasingly overseas. Some examples of current projects in the Structural Engineering Practice include: - Houses of Parliament, London - AECOM are the structural engineers for the refurbishment of Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben), as well as the lead engineers for the Northern Estate Programme, comprising refurbishment of 4 separate listed buildings to the north of the Palace of Westminster. - Curragh Racecourse, Ireland - AECOM provided multi-disciplinary services on the redevelopment of Ireland's preeminent racecourse- where racing has taken place since 1729. The project included the construction of saddling stalls, museum arm, and its centrepiece, the breath taking grandstand. With its soaring linear roof, the grandstand can accommodate crowds of up to 10,000 spectators. - Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam - AECOM have been engaged to design a new pier for the future, which will be the airports most sustainable ever. The new 400m long by 65m wide pier and 300m long link bridge will welcome an additional 14 million passengers annually through the provision of 8 new aircraft gates. - Project North Park, Exeter - This new £70m, state of the art research facility for the University of Exeter will house the Global Systems Institute, the Institute of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, the Humanities Research Institute, Astrophysics and Q-Step. It will bring together students and leading academics from various departments to facilitate collaboration in spaces designed to deliver the university's planned growth in research and teaching. - Foreign and Commonwealth Office Seismic Retrofit Programme, Various Locations - This global project involves the structural investigation and design of existing overseas British embassy buildings to ensure the facilities are safe and resilient in the event of earthquakes. Work on this programme has been undertaken in Europe, Africa, Asia and South America. - Crossrail Paddington Arch, London - The design and delivery of a new steel framed structure, constructed within an existing Grade I listed building at Paddington station was a significant challenge. This required appropriate heritage consents, assessing cost and constructability implications of our proposals and coordinating with the various other project disciplines and stakeholders. As such this required a collaborative project approach. - Al Janoub Stadium, Qatar - Inspired by the rich heritage of Qatar and the Al Wakrah region, this 45,000 capacity FIFA 2020 World Cup stadium was designed with the timeless characteristics of simplicity, solidity, pace and light. One of the most technically demanding projects we have ever delivered, including unprecedented advances in the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM). - Chateau La Coste, Provence - AECOM have provided Civil and Structural engineering services on a number of expressive and innovative art galleries in the south of France. Each of the separate gallery buildings has been conceived by world renowned Architects, including Renzo Piano, giving the teams an opportunity to work on elaborate and award winning designs. All of our buildings are conceived, designed, and constructed in a collaborative way to ensure they meet the often wide ranging requirements of the client brief, within the constraints of time and budget, all while still performing sustainably. Increasingly, we work with our other internal business lines such as architecture, building services engineering, environment, transportation, project management and cost management to deliver an all-encompassing service to our clients and their projects.
