Job Description

AECOM Spain’s Building Engineering team delivers expert solutions to international clients, combining technical excellence with global reach.

Our engineers lead the design of MEP systems — including mechanical, electrical, public health, fire protection, and telecom — ensuring buildings are safe, comfortable, and sustainable. We embrace world class methodologies and technologies, including information rich Building Information Modelling (BIM), energy modelling and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), to facilitate more efficient ways of working and design at all stages of the project life-cycle.

What we offer:

• A hybrid working model (2–3 days/week in the Barcelona office, depending on project needs).
• Flexible working hours to support work-life balance.
• The opportunity to grow your career within a global company, collaborating with key stakeholders across AECOM’s international network.
• A very positive and collaborative working environment, where teamwork and mutual support are part of our culture.
