Job Description

Energy:

At AECOM, we are at the forefront of the energy sector’s transformation, driving the shift toward a more sustainable and inclusive future.

As Europe accelerates efforts to reduce carbon emissions and transition to clean energy, we’re playing a pivotal role in delivering innovative, low-carbon energy solutions that meet the growing demands of the industry, our communities, and the planet.

Transmission and Distribution (T&D)

We have a tremendously challenging programme in front of us in the run up to achieving 2030 net zero targets.

New overhead lines, underground cables, substations, battery storage and subsea links are all needed – and quickly.

Working to modernise the UK’s Energy Infrastructure

AECOM has been recently appointed to provide design and consenting services for the UK's National Grid’s Great Grid Program, in a joint venture with Arup.

This £9bn initiative aims to enhance the electricity transmission network, ensuring the integration of renewable energy sources, including offshore wind farms, into the grid by 2030, which will also support future projects beyond 2030.

The project focuses on upgrading infrastructure to meet future energy demands, reduce fossil fuel dependency, and support the UK's net zero emissions target.

Start here.

Grow here.

Are you ready to join a very experienced, growing, industry-leading Transmission & Distribution team, and develop your skills on transformational work which will make a huge impact towards delivering the energy transition?
