Economist

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?

As our new Economist, Infrastructure Advisory, you’ll work with a team of highly skilled specialists. You’ll be a trusted partner to a diverse range of international clients and develop a deep understanding of their challenges to co-create innovative solutions that help shape the future. You’ll play an integral role in the delivery of economics and strategic advisory services to public and private clients, across a range of markets including transport, resources, energy and built environment.

Here are the key things you’ll do:

- Leading the development of economics or financial analysis, business cases, asset decision frameworks and integrated advisory services drawing in the other expertise of Aurecon
- Maintaining and further developing relationships with a wide range of clients and critical internal and external stakeholders
- Supporting a pipeline of future opportunities and managing the delivery of projects for key clients
- Helping to lead and grow a team focussed on the energy, water and transport Infrastructure sector as part of our broader Infrastructure Advisory offering

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.
