Forward Deployed Engineer, Internal Data Products

AECOM Construction Management is seeking a Forward Deployed Engineer, Internal Data Products to turn everyday business challenges into applications that help construction teams work more effectively.

As part of our growing Data & AI Enablement team, you’ll work directly with construction professionals and business leaders to understand their workflows, build prototypes, and deliver useful solutions. Projects may include replacing spreadsheet processes, building staffing and resource planning applications, and improving visibility into project operations.

This role combines business discovery with hands-on software development.

You’ll have direct access to users, ownership of meaningful work, and the opportunity to shape tools used across projects and regions.

This position offers the flexibility of a remote work schedule and can be based from any location within the US where AECOM has an office.

Key Responsibilities

• Work directly with business leaders and construction teams to understand workflows, clarify ambiguous needs, and define requirements and measurable outcomes.
• Design and build internal applications, automations, and data products, working across user interfaces, application logic, databases, and APIs as needed.
• Rapidly prototype and validate solutions with users, choosing practical approaches across AI-assisted coding, traditional development, low-code tools, and existing technology.
• Partner with Data & Integration Engineering to connect applications to governed enterprise and project data, using consistent data definitions and established technical standards.
• Own delivery from discovery through deployment, including testing, documentation, stakeholder communication, and coordination of technical dependencies and blockers.
• Measure adoption and business impact, improve solutions based on feedback, and turn successful tools into reusable capabilities across teams, projects, and regions.
