AECOM

What AECOM does

AECOM (NYSE: ACM) is a global infrastructure consulting firm headquartered in Dallas, Texas, providing professional technical and management services across the full project lifecycle — from advisory and planning through architecture, engineering, construction management, program management, and environmental services. Founded in 1990 and publicly listed since 2007, the company serves national governments, transportation agencies, water utilities, energy companies, and private developers across more than 150 countries, with marquee projects including One World Trade Center, Intuit Dome, Mercedes Benz Stadium, and Hong Kong International Airport Terminal 2. Its technology stack includes proprietary AI-enabled design tools (ScopeX, AecomZero), the Program Controls Engine for transportation program management, and Predictive Capacity Management for airports, supplemented by the November 2025 acquisition of Norwegian AI startup Consigli AS for $390 million.

AECOM generates revenue primarily through professional services contracts on a project and program basis, recognized as services are performed. FY2025 revenue was $16.1 billion with a record $26.2 billion backlog at Q2 FY2026 (+8% YoY) and a 1.2x design book-to-burn ratio. The go-to-market is overwhelmingly B2B enterprise field sales, with major contract vehicles including the UK Government CPS2 Framework ($4.7 billion), GSA OASIS+ and BMO contracts, and the Defence Construction Canada Source List (up to $270 million CAD). Customer concentration is heavily skewed to government: multi-decade relationships with USACE, DHS, NJTA, Scottish Water, Singapore NEA, NYC DEP, and similar agencies form the revenue base. Service delivery occurs through wholly-owned subsidiaries (AECOM Hunt, AECOM Tishman, AECOM Capital), joint ventures (Thrive with Aurecon, Newtown Creek CSO Partners with Parsons, IWMF JV with Binnies and Ramboll), and direct prime contracts.
