Aecom recorded more than $7 billion of large MS and CS wins in October, signalling momentum in the first quarter of 2019.
During the quarter, Aecom posted revenue increases across all its business segments, both on a reported and organic basis. The acceleration was helped by growth in the transportation and water markets, and strength in the Building Construction business.
