AECOM is seeking a Junior Electrical Engineer to join our Electrical Engineering practice. This entry-level role is designed for recent graduates or early-career professionals who are passionate about building services engineering and eager to develop their technical skills in a collaborative environment. As a Junior Engineer, you will work under the supervision of experienced engineers, contributing to the design and delivery of electrical systems for a variety of building projects. This is an excellent opportunity to begin your career with a global leader in engineering, where you will receive guidance, mentorship, and exposure to industry best practices.

Responsibilities:

• Assist in producing electrical design elements for building services projects, including calculations, sketches, diagrams, schematic drawings, and working drawings under supervision.
• Perform basic engineering calculations: cable sizing, voltage drop, fault level, and protection discrimination, following established procedures and guidance.
• Use Revit MEP, or other engineering software to prepare electrical documentation and models, complying with project and team standards.
• Collect, analyze, and verify engineering data from project inputs (client briefs, surveys, statutory submissions) using established procedures, flagging gaps or conflicts for senior review.
• Support design coordination with other engineering disciplines, participating in interdisciplinary reviews and resolving routine issues with guidance.
• Assist in preparing project deliverables — design reports, specifications, drawings, and schedules — for review by senior engineers.
• Maintain awareness of and compliance with budget and schedule commitments for assigned tasks, reporting progress and risks to the project team lead.
• Perform self-checks on work products prior to submission, ensuring completeness and accuracy.
• Participate in digital workflows, including BIM and CAD production, and contribute to clash detection and coordination processes within the Common Data Environment (ACC, BIM 360, or equivalent).
• Exchange information on technical matters clearly and constructively with internal teams, building relationships within own team and other internal project teams.
• Support construction-phase activities: site visits, RFI responses, technical query resolution, and review of contractor shop drawings and material submittals under supervision.
• Show interest in accepting new responsibilities and provide feedback about existing procedures to make improvements.
• Interact and exchange information with colleagues, contributing to knowledge-sharing sessions and internal CPD events.
