Brisbane, Australia Aurecon Group Full time

Want to bring ideas to life?

You’re in the right place. We’ve been a leading design, engineering and advisory company for decades. So why choose Aurecon? It really comes down to one, crucial question: what kind of world do you want to create for the next generation? Truth is, the decisions being made right now will determine the future of everything - from the local community to the sustainability of our clients’ businesses - to the entire planet. One of those decisions is: who do you decide to work for?

How will your ideas contribute to shaping what’s next?

We are currently experiencing an exciting time of growth and considering talent with specialist capabilities in Operational Readiness across Australia and at various levels of experience to join our already, highly skilled and successful Asset Management and Performance Service Group.

You will play a pivotal role in ensuring the seamless transition of assets to operational readiness. You will be responsible for supporting and/or developing and implementing strategies to enhance asset performance, minimize risk, and maximize efficiency throughout the asset's lifecycle.

This is an exciting opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects across a number of industries such as Transport, Infrastructure and Buildings, Manufacturing, Resources and Utilities just to name a few.

Here are the key things you’ll do:

- Collaborate with project teams to develop robust operational readiness plans for new assets, ensuring a smooth handover to operational teams.
- Conduct thorough assessments of existing assets and identify areas for improvement in performance, reliability, and maintenance.
- Develop and implement asset management strategies, maintenance programs, and lifecycle plans tailored to each client's unique requirements.
- Support clients in risk management processes, ensuring compliance with industry regulations and standards.
- Continuously monitor asset performance and provide expert recommendations to optimize operations and reduce life cycle costs.

How will your future be shaped by us?

Joining Aurecon means you’ll be at the award-winning edge of innovation and sustainability. AFR ranked us Top 5 among sustainability leaders and Top 3 of all innovative companies in professional services. One Consult awarded us an innovative design award. Plus, we were Consult Australia’s large firm of the year.

You really can bring your whole self to work and be confident your voice will be heard. We don’t just claim we’re inclusive and innovative, as proven by the independent awards and accreditations we’ve gained. We’ve been recognised for our innovation culture, gender equality and our LGBTI+ inclusion. Plus, we have a robust Reconciliation Action Plan - our fourth edition since 2014.

On a personal level you’ll have access to flexible work hours, remote work, working holidays, part-time and job share options. When it comes to your development, you’ll be a part of our Advisory Development Academy, and have the option to build your technical mastery in the Aurecon Design Academy which earns you a Graduate Certificate in Design Management from the prestigious RMIT University. Plus, you’ll be supported on every step of your career journey with mentoring, leadership training and our Career Hub. Outside of work, you’ll be further supported with competitive paid parental leave, cultural public holiday swaps, plus wellbeing support programmes.

What are we looking for from you?

You’ll have a genuine passion for re-imagining problems and continuous learning to help shape the future.

We value that each of our team members brings something different to Aurecon. We look for people who have had a broad range of experiences throughout their career and can demonstrate how they have worked as part of a team to bring ideas to life.

Alongside your industry experience in similar management consulting, engineering consulting, or equivalent roles, you’ll also have:

- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Operations Management, or a related field.
- Proven experience in asset management, operational readiness, and/or performance improvement.
- Strong knowledge of asset management principles, including ISO 55000 standards.
- Familiarity with a variety of asset types (e.g., infrastructure, facilities, utilities) is advantageous.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to think strategically and develop innovative solutions.
- Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills to engage effectively with clients and project teams.
- A collaborative and adaptable mindset, thriving in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.

Think you know Aurecon? You may be surprised.

Aurecon’s strength has always been our people. It’s our people who build our shared purpose and bring ideas to life. It’s our people who imagine and co-create with our clients a better future for people and the planet. Of course, you’ll probably know
