2022 AECOM Graduate Scheme

Original post by pearlbearl

Hello,

I was just wondering what stage you were at with your application? I only applied for the T&D graduate scheme yesterday and didn't realise they had been accepting applications since November. :s-smilie:

I applied in November and had an interview in December for the Graduate water consulting role and was rejected. But the recruiter emailed me the other day asking if I'd like to be reconsidered for the same role but in a different location and have a interview tomorrow

Oh nice one! I wish you luck with that!

I also have an interview for the T&D scheme next week.

Without asking for unfair specifics, can I ask what the general interview was like? I.e. the usual competency based questions with a few technical ones sprinkled in?

Yeah just it was just a standard competency based question interview and like one technical question. It lasted around an hour.
My interview tomorrow tho I have to complete a task they sent me, during interview itself.

Huh, strange how they changed it up for you. Afaik, my interview doesn't have any tasks (at least I sincerely hope not).

Anyway, good luck tomorrow. I am sure you will smash it.

The interview went pretty well, they said they'd get back to me in 7-10 days as they still have interviews to do. I only had the situation judgement test to do with Aecom which I passed and they then offered me an interview. Didn't do no numerical test

I got given a task to do in the 2nd interview but not in the first one. I had to answer some questions that was on the task and talk about it to the 2 interviewers. They gave me 15mins during the interview to do the task . The task was for them to get an idea on what I know about flood risk management and how I'd go about deciding what options are the best.

Hi i got offered a water mechanical engineering role in the birmingham AECOM office and I am just wondering how you are finding the position so far. I am going to be starting in September, are there any tips, benefits, things you dont like about the company, etc. and did you get a salary increase at any point? I would really appreciate your response

I'm enjoying the position at the moment, been involved in a range of projects. The team I'm working with is nice and answers any questions I might have although one or 2 people explain things in a way that's sometimes hard to fully understand. Ive had 2 salary increases because they increase graduate salaries 2 times a year based on market value. I like the flexible working that Aecom offers so you can work at home a few days a week then in the office a few days a week.

Do you remember the name of the role you applied for? I am currently still in the process of looking at the contract before I sign, but it didn’t show anything about home working :frown:

only on the job advert it says flexible. Were you able to work from home straight away or did you have to wait a few months. My starting salary is £28.5k. Do you mind telling me your current salary and how much it increased by since you started? And how are you finding aecom university? This is the role I got an offer for - https://aecom.jobs/birmingham-gbr/water-electrical-mechanical-graduates-birmingham/0FB9E95FCCEB41B7860AD9EF15265A22/job/

Do you remember the name of the role you applied for or if it is still on the website please? Sorry for all the questions, I just haven’t met anyone that actually works there as a graduate that I can freely talk to.
