Plenty of opportunities. Seems like AECOM has a clear career prospect guide.

Seems very predictable for the early years (0-4) in terms of promotions/pay
Graduate, Melbourne - 10 Nov 2023
I think that promotion for the first couple of years is good and linear, i feel like it stagnates towards the 5-10yr mark and the pay increase associated with early promotions is not up to the market value.
Graduate, Perth - 09 Nov 2023
Fixed promotion for graduates after 18months. No opportunities to accelerate. Post professional promotion opportunities are available in October and are usually advocated.
Graduate, Sydney - 09 Nov 2023
As a graduate there are limited opportunities for promotion but there will be in the coming years.
Graduate, Brisbane - 09 Nov 2023
It is encouraging to see lots of promotions from within. However it seems fairly rigid for early professionals in regards to promotion and raises.

Getting our architecture registration, proving to our leader that we are qualified and experienced enough

Working for an international company with different projects provides a wide range of opportunities and growth.
Graduate, Melbourne - 09 Nov 2023
Company has clear progression steps. Mentor programme exist to help grads.
Graduate, Adelaide - 09 Nov 2023
Loyalty at AECOM is rewarded. It is a big company, so it is a long game. There is a big turn over rate beyond the grad years.
Graduate, Brisbane - 08 Nov 2023
There is a process involved with two years at grad-level followed by a ranking based approach for future promotions.
Graduate, Melbourne - 08 Nov 2023
After the graduate program, you are automatically promoted to professional engineer. Depending on performance and amount of experience, professionals will be promoted to senior and then principal engineer. For higher levels, there are different career pathways including technical, client and management focused roles.
Professional Engineer, Sydney - 08 Nov 2023
not sure. like with all companies, politics, meritocracy and business metrics all are factors at play.
Graduate, Sydney - 08 Nov 2023
Hard to say due to being locked in the grad program which rules out promotions for the 1.5 years the program takes. Otherwise, it seems regular promotions and rewards being offered to colleagues professional level and above.
Graduate, Brisbane - 08 Nov 2023
Limited promotions and progression stalled
Graduate, Sydney - 08 Nov 2023
From graduate to professional, the program is 18 months.
Afterwards it is based on performance.
Graduate, Brisbane - 08 Nov 2023
It is a big international company which means there are limits to how fast you can progress. Pay is also very rigid and not so much related to performance as you would get in other companies. You can be given more responsibility than your role title if you want it.
Graduate, Melbourne - 08 Nov 2023
I believe in what I stated for how I believe people should prepare themselves when applying for AECOM.
I thought I was worth slightly more (like 2 percent more) but that will come with time. Certainly not upset and am definitely grateful to be in the company and team I am in.
Everything will come with experience and time.
Professional, Brisbane - 08 Nov 2023
As a grad, you will get the professional title after the 2 years program. After that, you have to negotiate on your own.
Graduate, Melbourne - 08 Nov 2023
Typical corporate ladder. There is a guide on how to move up the ranks but I've not indulged in it further.
