At AECOM, we're delivering a better world by designing and developing sustainable, efficient, and inclusive infrastructure that connects people and communities. Our Highways and Streets team works on a diverse range of projects across the UK and Ireland, supporting the development and improvement of road infrastructure for local authorities, National Highways, and other public and private sector clients. There may also be opportunities to work on projects in other parts of the world.

Our projects span the full lifecycle of highway infrastructure, from feasibility and concept development through to detailed design and construction. This includes major road schemes, junction improvements, highway upgrades, active travel infrastructure, and improvements to existing networks. The team also supports colleagues in other sectors including delivering energy and aviation projects.

Joining us as an Apprentice means becoming part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary team while gaining practical, hands-on experience alongside structured academic study and other professional development activities. You'll develop your technical skills and knowledge while working towards professional qualifications and building a rewarding career in civil and highway engineering.

As a Highways & Streets Civil Engineering Apprentice based in our St. Albans office, you'll support experienced engineers and designers in the development and delivery of a wide range of highway and traffic engineering projects. You'll gain practical experience across different stages of project development, developing an understanding of technical design principles, engineering standards, and project delivery.

You'll work collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams and develop experience using industry-standard design and modelling tools, including AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and BIM software. As your skills and knowledge develop, you'll gradually take on greater responsibility and contribute to increasingly complex project work.

This role is suited to school leavers with an interest in developing a career in highway and civil engineering and the following:

• Minimum of 5 GCSEs (or equivalent) at Grade C/4 or above, including Mathematics and English.
• Three A-Levels (or equivalent, such as BTEC Level 3 in Civil Engineering), including Mathematics and physical science at Grade C or above, where required for the Level 6 Degree Apprenticeship.
• Genuine interest in highway engineering, civil engineering, and the design and development of transport infrastructure.
• Genuine interest in highways, road design, link road and junction design, active travel, transport planning, and the development of safe, efficient, and sustainable transport networks.
• Aptitude for technical drawing, engineering design, and computer-based applications, with an interest in developing skills in tools such as AutoCAD and 3D modelling software.
• Basic proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
• Strong analytical and numerical skills, with a methodical approach to problem-solving.
• Good attention to detail, organisation, and time-management skills.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills, including research, technical writing, and report-writing skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary team, while demonstrating initiative when working independently.
• A willingness to learn, adapt, and develop new technical skills and knowledge.
• A creative, practical, and solutions-focused approach to engineering challenges.
• Commitment to continuous learning and professional development throughout the apprenticeship.
