I applied online. I interviewed at AECOM (London, England) in Mar 2017
Interview
Introductory session with HR representative and two project managers. Case study interview first, followed by a presentation of a pre-assigned topic, and lastly a face to face interview. The interview took place in London, and the hiring managers are highly interested in candidates who have a good technical understanding of what the role entails and where candidates would like to work in terms of a specific type of infrastructure. Lastly, candidates are asked about professional qualification (e.g. RICS), what they know about the process to become a chartered surveyor, and so on.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the largest event you have planned? what did you learn from this?
Online application, Video-call interview, Online Assessment, Face-to-Face Interview, and then upon completion of these steps an offer. Found the process nice, and better than similar companies who mandate solo video interviews and assessments before they've reviewed your application.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at AECOM (Bristol, England) in Feb 2025
Interview
The atmosphere in that initial interview was remarkably vibrant, radiating a contagious energy that instantly shifted the tone from a standard assessment to a genuine, professional dialogue. It is rare to find a panel that prioritises mutual discovery over rigid interrogation, yet this session felt like a collaborative exchange that allowed me to project confidence naturally.
One interviewer’s decision to recount his own trajectory, starting in the very position I was applying for, provided a concrete roadmap of the professional growth possible within the firm. This was perfectly balanced by the second interviewer, whose formidable experience was coupled with a grounded, authentic warmth that made the high-level site realities feel accessible and inspiring.
Relaxed interview with two managing members from the team? The interviewers were quite friendly and basically wanted to know how keen you were to get the role as well as whether you would fit for the role. it lasted for about half an hour.
