As a Ground Engineering intern at AECOM, you will contribute to a variety of projects, gaining hands‑on experience in activities such as:
Responsibilities
* Support Ground Investigation Projects – Assist with desk studies, site inspections, rockface surveys, and geomorphological mapping. Help plan and procure ground investigations, and support senior staff in supervising on‑site activities.
* Data Collection and Analysis – Contribute to the gathering, management, and interpretation of geological and geotechnical data using tools such as Openground for data management and Leapfrog for 3D geological modelling.
* Technical Reporting – Assist in preparing interpretative and design reports, ground models, and technical documentation, ensuring accuracy and adherence to relevant guidelines and standards.
* Design Support – Help in the design and assessment of foundations, retaining walls, slope stability, earthworks, and rock slope stabilisation under the guidance of experienced engineers and geologists.
* Numerical Modelling – Develop skills in 2D and 3D numerical analysis using AECOM’s software packages, supporting geotechnical modelling and simulations.
* Tender Documentation – Assist in preparing Ground Engineering tender documents for construction. E.g., Works Requirements and drawings.
* Collaboration and Teamwork – Work alongside multidisciplinary teams, including engineers, engineering geologists, and environmental specialists, to deliver integrated project solutions.
* Health, Safety and Sustainability Awareness – Apply health and safety practices during site and office‑based tasks, with consideration for environmental and sustainability principles in all project work.
