Job Summary
Leading-edge thinking about the form and performance of any building underpins AECOM's position as a global leader in the skilfully crafted design of sustainable, elegant and cost-effective buildings. To drive maximum performance of the building in operation, to generate spaces with optimal commercial viability, and to ensure a holistic and sustainable design solution, our work integrates the thinking of some of the world's leading building scientists and engineers. At the top of their professions, these specialists are recognised experts in their fields, including our Fire Engineers.

In the early stages of project design, your role as a graduate Fire Engineer comprises of ensuring that the Project Design Team is aware of the implications that their decisions have on the fire safety strategy of the building. This may require an in depth analyses of the design, which could include Computational Fluid Dynamics, smoke layer calculations or evacuation modelling, depending on the situation.

As projects progress you will be required to advise the Project Design Team on their decisions and ensure that any non-compliant variations in the design are mitigated in an effective manner to satisfy the requirements of the Building Regulations. You will attend meetings under the supervision of a senior engineer and will be involved in the development of the fire safety strategy.

  • Bristol Old Vic - AECOM developed the fire strategy for the refurbishment of the theatre auditorium, back of house areas and the 250th Anniversary Works for the Bristol Old Vic & Theatre royal Trust Ltd

Fuller information about the project can be found here: www.northernestate.parliament.uk
  • Crossrail oversite developments, London - AECOM has been working on a number of developments over railway stations, for example offices above Farringdon station. Oversite developments need to consider the fire safety of the building in its own right, whilst taking into account the station below.

The appointment followed work on MPS Lambeth refurbishment and the design and construction of new buildings at the Hendon Driving School
