AECOM is invested in employee well-being, growth, and success.

AECOM is committed to providing its people with the resources they need to be safe, healthy and well – both at work and in their personal lives. From flexible work options to learning and growth programs that advance careers, career opportunities at AECOM are virtually limitless.

AECOM offers flexible, hybrid work options for all employees through its Freedom to Grow philosophy, which supports employees in finding balance and flexibility they need to do their best, deliver for clients and bring their whole selves to work.

Considering each employee's needs 

The guiding rule is that if an arrangement works for the employee, manager, the team and, most importantly, the client, it works for AECOM. Employees and managers are encouraged to work together to determine work schedules and locations that prioritize client needs and team collaboration while supporting individual needs.

AECOM's Freedom to Grow program goes far beyond just when and where employees work. AECOM considers each individual's holistic experience, encouraging flexibility and respecting diversity in work, communication and thinking styles.

Enjoying flexible working as a mother of two

Meet Lauren, a Principal Project Manager at AECOM, who benefits from the company's Freedom to Grow program. 

“I’ve been with AECOM for 13 years, working initially as an Engineering Geologist and now as a Project manager within the transportation sector. I’ve had experience of night shift working and managing complex multi-disciplinary projects, none of which could have prepared me for the challenges motherhood threw in my direction," says Lauren.

"My husband and I are parents to two boys, aged 4 and 1. My mornings can start as early as 5:30 am and mornings can be chaotic. After feeding the children, the cat and the chickens, it does not leave much time for myself before school and nursery drop off," explains Lauren.

"AECOM’s Freedom To Grow policy means I can work from home on some days and work in the office with my team the rest of the time. This helps me navigate parent’s evenings, school plays and any other weird and wonderful additions to my day. I feel very supported by my line manager and my team when I need to work flexibly to look after my children," adds Lauren.

AECOM provides employees with Freedom to Grow

From flexible work options that help employees balance the demands of work and life, to learning and growth programs that advance their career and the potential of working on projects around the world, the opportunities with AECOM are virtually limitless.
