• Collaborate with peers by reviewing their work and actively participating in post-project reviews.
• Work under direct supervision, following instructions and established practices.
• Adhere strictly to AECOM’s safety policies.
• Research current asset management-related topics at local, State, and Federal levels.
• Assist with other duties assigned by senior staff and/or Project Managers. This position will involve planning and project development activities for asset management projects under the supervision of more senior staff.
