Want to bring ideas to life?

As an engineer you’re no doubt aware of Aurecon - we’ve been a leading design, engineering, and advisory company for decades. But why should you choose to join us?

Every project Aurecon delivers leaves a legacy. Every project has sustainability embedded in decision making. And every project is at the leading-edge of technical eminence.

But 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 entire planet. One of those decisions is: who do you decide to work for?

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

You will ‘bring ideas to life’ for our clients across all types of Dams Projects - from business cases, dam safety reviews, comprehensive risk assessments and engineering design of earth and concrete dams.

We know the work we do is vital in assisting our world’s economic development and, it’s the technical expertise and the depth of knowledge of our people that really sets us apart. Here are the key things you will do:
