Job Abstract

AECOM’s Environmental Business Line is seeking an experienced and dedicated Technology & Security Consultant III (i.e., Team Member) to support a wide variety of environmental consulting projects.  After a successful onboarding period (estimated 3-9 months), and with their supervisor’s approval, the Team Member will have flexibility to set their own schedule for in-office work, in accordance with AECOM policy.

Initial Responsibility: Our Team administers and provides help desk functions for the operation and sustainment of a database to track hazardous material and hazardous waste, in support of our Department of Defense client’s mission. With appropriate training and support, the Team Member will be expected to become a subject matter expert on the database and its use by our client and their customers. Additional duties will include expanding/implementing the system’s use by customers, communicating with customer program managers to ensure needs are being met, and analyzing system data to facilitate overall program improvement. This position requires an aptitude for data and systems management, client and customer support, and program ownership.

Growth Potential: Our Team supports a wide variety of environmental projects and clients, each with unique systems and data management requirements. A critical aspect of this support is a Team Member that can learn why the data is collected (i.e., client processes and requirements), provide recommendations for data management (i.e., how best to capture the data with minimal effort), and leverage the data to facilitate enterprise-level decision making for client leadership. It is anticipated that the responsibilities of this position will extend to support management of environmental data within our Team and across our client base. Additional roles may include serving as a data task lead on key projects or project management responsibilities of data/information driven projects.
