Job Description

AECOM is actively seeking Developers work on a broad range of projects. Our work is interdisciplinary, so a wide variety of majors and work experience are acceptable. This position supports clients by transforming data and automating processes. A successful candidate will have a passion for problem solving and a desire to learn and adopt new technologies to meet project requirements.

This is a client-facing position; effective communication is as important as technical skill. The successful candidate will be ready to lead requirements and design workshops with clients, both in person and remotely. The person in this position will work with multiple clients at once, and though this is a full-time salaried position, will be required to accurately allocate their daily time worked to the appropriate projects.
