Company Description
At AECOM, we’re delivering a better world.


We believe infrastructure creates opportunity for everyone. Whether it’s improving your commute, keeping the lights on, providing access to clean water or transforming skylines, our work helps people and communities thrive.

Our clients trust us to bring together the best people, ideas, technical expertise and digital solutions to our work in transportation, buildings, water, the environment and new energy. We’re one global team – 47,000 strong – driven by a common purpose to deliver a better world.

Archaeological sites are an irreplaceable part of history in British Columbia, Canada (B.C.) and are critically important to Indigenous communities. There are over 62,000 known archaeological sites in B.C., 90 per cent of which are of Indigenous origin. Indigenous Peoples have an ongoing connection to this history. Many archaeological sites in B.C. are culturally sensitive, contain ancestral remains, and have important sacred and spiritual value to Indigenous Peoples in B.C.
