Government Leader, State

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 Leader, State Government, you’ll work within our Government team, and with highly skilled specialists across our business. You’ll help us work with and for Government, and also help our non-Government clients understand and engage with Government.

Your role will include:

- Cultivate trusted advisor relationships within Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
- Identify the advisory, project and programme management and traditional engineering and design issues that Government entities are, and should be, concerned with.
- Mobilise efforts to address these issues and frame alternative approaches to resolution.
- Raise the understanding of Government needs, processes and approaches amongst your colleagues.

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. You’ll continue to grow, thanks to learning and development opportunities that further your eminence, leadership, and professional accreditations. 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.

As well as significant experience in the public sector, or in a similar Government facing role in management consulting, engineering consulting, or an equivalent, you’ll have:

- A deserved reputation for integrity and credibility
- Extensive working relationships that are credible at senior levels across key State Government Agencies and Departments
- A strong appreciation of Government processes and practices
- Tertiary qualifications (Bachelor or advanced degree)

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 lots of our award-winning projects. Advising on the world’s biggest battery energy storage project? That was us. Terminal precinct engineering design services for the new Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport? That was us too. And multiple world-class stadia, paths to decarbonisation and strategic transport and land use plans? You guessed it, us. So, when you join us, you’ll be joining a community working together to tackle some of the world’s most complex challenges.
