About AECOM
AECOM is a global infrastructure consulting company providing planning, design, engineering, environmental and programme or construction management services. Established as an independent company in 1990 through the combination of five businesses, it draws on predecessor firms with much longer histories. Its role is primarily that of a professional services and technical partner across the project lifecycle.
Markets and Experience
The company serves cities, transportation, buildings, water, energy and environmental markets. Its teams work with public agencies, infrastructure owners and private clients on programmes that connect technical design with the needs of users and communities. Its published project material includes the Intuit Dome and Boston Logan International Airport Terminal E, illustrating experience in major public-facing facilities and infrastructure.
Services and Capabilities
AECOM brings together planners, designers, engineers, consultants and programme and construction managers. Teams can support projects from early studies and design through delivery oversight, drawing on expertise across disciplines and locations. Its approach makes the broader organisation’s technical resources available to local projects, rather than treating every assignment as an isolated regional service.
Delivery and Approach
The company’s Sustainable Legacies framework addresses environmental and social considerations alongside infrastructure delivery. Its stated priorities include reducing emissions, creating social value and maintaining a welcoming workplace. AECOM also describes listening to clients and communities as part of developing infrastructure solutions. The profile should therefore distinguish its advisory, design and management role from that of a contractor whose core business is directly self-performing building trades. Its offering is relevant to complex programmes where planning, engineering and delivery coordination need to be considered together.
