Job Description:

The AECOM Energy team are looking for talented Computational Designers to join their growing digital team.

The Computational Design summer placements at AECOM are incorporated into design teams and encouraged to use their understanding of computational design methods to develop or optimise processes used on real life projects.

You will work in collaboration with a diverse range of engineers, particularly, civil, structural, process and MEP, where you will have the opportunity to learn the engineering design requirements while having the opportunity to create a proof of concept for any design processes which you feel could be enhanced.

This is an exciting opportunity to work for a global design consultancy and on high profile projects, whilst providing you with real-life design engineering problems to overcome.

Computational Design summer placements will work with experienced engineers who will guide and mentor them during their time at AECOM.

They will work on live projects where their role will include:

Evaluating the need for new computational, parametric and automated design methodologies
Documenting and presenting how the new methodologies enhance the design process and deliver adaptive solutions
Preparation of proof of concept for new automated, computational or parametric design processes to demonstrate value for money
Liaise with project teams about how to integrate new solutions into existing projects and design processes
Development of computational design tools/solutions
Assist in the development of parametric object libraries

Qualifications:

Working towards an MSc in Computational Engineering Design/Computational Architecture/Computational methods (or similar)
Able to demonstrate legal right to work in the UK and meet the requirements for Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS)
