Key responsibilities will be to engage with and manage the delivery of capital allowances claims for portfolio clients, liaise with colleagues across the broader business to develop new client relationships, and to help AECOM’s Fiscal Incentives service to continue to grow.

The successful candidate will be a key member of a growing team. They will have the opportunity to develop their property tax skills in the various disciplines that we cover and will be encouraged to identify and pursue business development opportunities. The successful candidate will also get the opportunity to work closely with senior members of the team to cultivate sales from both new and existing clients.
