Description:
Are you passionate about improving the environmental performance of infrastructure development projects and helping Ireland to deliver its net zero commitments? If so, we’d love to hear from you at AECOM.
By joining us, you will work daily with technical experts within our established Impact Assessment team which comprises over 170 staff across Ireland and the UK. We are a founding member of the Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment (IEMA) EIA Quality Mark, whilst everything we do aligns with our environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy.

At AECOM, we’re at the forefront of innovation, delivering an exceptional portfolio of projects brought through long-term partnerships with key clients. This position offers an opportunity to manage environmental inputs to large-scale development projects that are transforming our infrastructure – this includes:
- Energy generation projects, including renewables (solar farm and onshore windfarm projects), carbon capture and storage, and hydrogen;
- Energy distribution and transmission projects;
- Highway improvements and greenway projects;
- Carbon capture pipelines;
- Strategic national and regional rail projects;
