Organization Description:
AECOM is a global network of design, engineering, construction and management professionals partnering with clients to imagine and deliver a better world. From high-performance buildings and infrastructure, to resilient communities and environments, to stable and secure nations, our vision is to be the premier, fully integrated infrastructure firm.
For the last four years, we have been named one of Fortune’s World’s Most Admired Companies. Additionally, we have been ranked #1 in Transportation and General Building in Engineering News Record’s 2018 “Top 500 Design Firms” and recognized as Construction Dive’s “Company of the Year” for the second year in a row.
Sponsor's Responsibilities:
As a Project Manager, the sponsor is responsible for managing scope, schedule, and budget for a range of projects. The sponsor manages geotechnical aspects of different types of projects, including levees, building foundations, transmission lines, and highways.
The sponsor manages these projects throughout California and in Trinidad and Tobago.
As a Senior Engineer, the sponsor is responsible for assigning and reviewing engineering designs and calculations. Types of designs include ground improvement, shallow foundations, deep foundations, trenching, and embankments.
Extern's Proposed Duties:
The extern will observe the Sponsor's day-to-day activities. These activities are typically carried out in the office, but may also require a field site visit. The extern will be able to attend all meetings, design reviews, and engineering assignment discussions.
The extern will also be given project problems and they will be allowed an opportunity to solve the problem independently. After attempting to solve the problem, the Sponsor will help review their approach and results to provide advice on their solution.
The most valuable experience will be to make connections within the company and see the day-to-day life of a Geotechnical Engineer
