• Collaborate: Work closely with clients and other multidisciplinary teams at AECOM to ensure clear understanding of deliverables and responsibilities.
• Safety: Take ownership of aspects of project safety that are within your control, such as carrying out Safety in Design practices and ensuring any out of office work has been appropriately planned and risk assessed.
