Graduate Mechanical and Electrical Engineers Building Services

Company Description

AECOM is built to deliver a better world. We design, build, finance and operate infrastructure assets for governments, businesses and organizations in more than 150 countries. As a fully integrated firm, we connect knowledge and experience across our global network of experts to help clients solve their most complex challenges. From high-performance buildings and infrastructure, to resilient communities and environments, to stable and secure nations, our work is transformative, differentiated and vital. A Fortune 500 firm, see how we deliver what others can only imagine at aecom.com and @AECOM.



AECOM is one of the world's largest professional engineering consultancies, bringing a comprehensive portfolio of building services and engineering skills to projects encompassing all types of building and use from World Class Sporting Venues through to Commercial Properties, Healthcare & Research, Hotels, Industrial & Manufacturing, and Infrastructure both in the UK and increasingly overseas.

Building services engineers work closely with the design team to ensure the projects we create together sustainably perform to the brief and budget. Increasingly we work with our other internal business lines such as Architecture, Environment, Transportation, and our own Project Managers to provide a one stop solution to our clients. If you can bring passion and flair to our work, have a real interest in improving the built environment and want to now apply your engineering skills to the real world then we want to hear from you.

Electrical Engineering - We deliver expert thinking to drive efficient solutions for all aspects of building services Electrical Engineering including high and low voltage power supplies and distribution systems, incoming utilities, standby generation, UPS and resilient power solutions, renewable systems, power, lighting, fire alarms and security.

Mechanical Engineering - The quality of a building's internal environment plays a significant role in determining its fitness for the purpose for which it was designed. The mechanical engineer by the application of modern control technology allied to energy efficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, allows occupants to vary conditions within the building although this all starts with working with the architect to ensure the buildings form is sufficiently thermally efficient to enable energy targets to be met or exceeded.

As part of an international company you will have the opportunity to make connections regionally, nationally and internationally and the range of projects and opportunities is broad.

Examples of projects the Building Services team are involved in include:

Forbury Place, Reading - AECOM were involved with the development of two new-build office developments totaling circa 400,000 sq ft. Building 2 has recently won the prestigious BCO regional award and has been put forward for the national finals. The offices were completed to category A standard, achieving BREEAM Excellent, EPC A rated and Wired Scope Platinum. Sustainable features include 700m2 photovoltaic panels (350m2 per building), air source heat pumps and rainwater harvesting.

Medical and Dental Facility, RAF Valley, Anglesey, Wales. The detailed design and specification for a new facility based on the RAF site on Anglesey in North wales. The building services needed to be designed in accordance with the usual British Standards and Building regulations as well as incorporating relevant parts of the Health technical Memoranda (HTM's) as required for compliance with Hospital standards. Further, to this, the facility also had to comply with the JSP Guidelines for MOD establishments in the UK. The project was delivered in 3D to aid with clash detection and coordination with the building and structural elements

Westferry, Isle of Dogs - 11 residential blocks ranging up to 40 stories with large dock heating and cooling scheme. We are providing MEP services, security, ICT, lighting, sustainability, noise & vibration monitoring, fire, acoustics & air quality

Old Bailey, London - Major plant replacement for central plant, including lifts. Project going on over 11 years in phases whilst the site is occupied and fully operational. AECOM are providing MEP services, lifts, and structures.

Broadway Development, London - Mixed use high end residential with offices and retail. AECOM are providing MEP services, fire, acoustics, and sustainability.

When a graduate starts with us we pair them with an experienced engineer who will guide and mentor them through their initial period working on live projects.

The following description lists a fairly typical approach to foundational training in your discipline; however, business needs, project task availability, and your training interests will also influence the scope and order of training. Depending on your discipline, for your first year you will learn the following skills:

Design experience in the electrical and mechanical engineering aspects of project delivery

Application of electrical engineering to support sustainable building design

Variety of analyses for different buildings from Offices to Hospitals to Data Centre's and Hotels

Delivery of projects using BIM

AutoCad and REVIT

Calculations including electrical load, circuit design and cable calculations, and lighting

How to use the Technical Practice Network

Learning to navigate through codes and guidelines

Complete our Safety Training

AECOM standards and symbols

Job responsibilities may include:

System load calculations to enable central and secondary plant to be accurately sized Technical design of all electrical engineering aspects of projects

Ensuring plantrooms and distribution routes are adequately sized

Report writing for the appropriate RIBA stage

Compiling technical specifications appropriate for the system components selected

Determining the best technical solution and evidencing reasoning.

Working on projects using REVIT & AutoCad

Giving structure to ideas - lots of 'taking a first pass' at spreadsheets, reports and analyses for discussion later rather than instruction

Attending meetings and workshops, learning from listening, asking questions and discussion

Working with people from other disciplines to gain knowledge on new subjects

Assisting in developing our designs through the different stages

Inspecting and monitoring installations during the construction phase.

Taking on more responsibility in managing our projects from inception through to completion as the graduate role develops

Qualifications

An accredited Bachelor degree (min 2:1 or equivalent) in Electrical, Building Services, Mechanical, Architectural Environment Engineering or similar, with honors. Accreditation being with CIBSE, IMechE or IET.

Relevant Industry related work experience would be advantageous
