Want to bring ideas to life?

At Aurecon, we're not just engineers – we're designers, advisors and innovators working together to shape a better future. You may know us for our landmark projects – like Allianz Stadium or the Tseung Kwan O Interchange – but it's the work we do behind the scenes that makes the real difference.

Now, we're looking for the next generation of thinkers. If you're a Process Engineer ready to grow your technical skills on cutting-edge industrial and energy projects, read on.

How will your ideas help shape what's next?

As our new Process Engineer in Sydney, you'll be part of a close-knit and highly skilled team working on industrial process and energy projects across Australia. With support from our larger national network – particularly our 20-person QLD team – you'll get exposure to a varied client base all with different problems that needs solutions.

From the start, you'll be hands-on – running calculations, modelling industrial systems, and contributing to reports that are client-facing and high-impact. This is a rare opportunity to build deep technical experience early in your career, while gaining exposure to multiple industries including oil & gas, food and beverage, aluminium processing, and new fuel technologies like sustainable aviation fuel.

Here's what your week might look like:

  • Working with modelling software to run heat and mass balances, pipeline and equipment sizing, and process simulations
  • Developing and updating Process Flow Diagrams (PFDs) and Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs)
  • Collaborating with the QLD and Sydney teams to understand client scope, deliverables and schedules
  • Writing technical reports and presenting findings to internal stakeholders and clients
  • Gaining exposure to project phases from concept design through to detailed engineering

What are we looking for?

You're a curious and determined Process Engineer who wants to fast-track your technical development. You'll bring:

  • A degree in Chemical Engineering
  • 4+ years' industry experience – ideally in industrial processing, piping systems, food & beverage or energy
  • Experience performing complex process calculations
  • Solid understanding of process flows, modelling tools (e.g. ASPEN HYSYS, FluidFlow, SYSCAD), and equipment sizing
  • An interest in continuous improvement and real-world impact
  • The ability to manage your own time and priorities while contributing to a team

We will also be considering applications with the below experience

  • Food & beverage or pharmaceutical process environments
  • Piping design projects (HVAC, specification and regulation knowledge)
  • Mechanical or validation engineering roles with process crossover
  • Alumina industry experience

  • Supportive mentors and learning pathways designed to elevate early-career engineers
