at AECOM

🏢 About AECOM

AECOM is a global infrastructure consulting firm focused on building sustainable legacies through innovative projects in transportation, water, energy, and environmental sectors. What makes AECOM unique is their commitment to delivering sustainable solutions that positively impact communities, combined with their extensive portfolio of high-profile infrastructure projects across the UK and globally. Working at AECOM offers the opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects that shape the future of infrastructure while being part of a diverse, forward-thinking organization.

About This Role

As an Information Manager at AECOM's Leeds office, you'll be responsible for developing and maintaining information management policies while ensuring effective allocation of resources across projects. This role is impactful because you'll directly support compliance with regulatory requirements for client records and information throughout their lifecycle, while building relationships with external stakeholders like contractors and suppliers to improve information management practices across AECOM's infrastructure projects.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve reviewing and updating information management policies to ensure compliance with UK regulations, meeting with project teams to assess resource allocation needs, and collaborating with external contractors to align information management processes. You'd likely spend time analyzing client business requirements to develop tailored information solutions while ensuring records management practices support AECOM's sustainability objectives across ongoing infrastructure projects.
