At AECOM, we’re at the forefront of innovation, delivering an exceptional portfolio of marine programs and projects through long-term partnerships with key clients, many of which are related to power generation (e.g. floating offshore wind) and transmission (including international interconnectors) as well as a wide variety of other sectors such as subsea cables, ports and harbours and coastal developments.
