Redo the management from the CEO to the site supervisors.

Get rid of dead weight. Hire people who will work.

AECOM is the result of acquisitions. There's no sense of a single, unified culture. Management needs to focus on culture and unity.

Fire upper management from assistant supevisor on down in my 12+ years in avaition I've never seen such arrogant incompetence

Review from Operations Dept

Reduce administrative burden so the focus can be on the client.
