Description

Company Description Work with Us. Change the World. At AECOM, we're delivering a better world. Whether improving your commute, keeping the lights on, providing access to clean water, or transforming skylines, our work helps people and communities thrive. We are the world's trusted infrastructure consulting firm, partnering with clients to solve the world’s most complex challenges and build legacies for future generations. There has never been a better time to be at AECOM. With accelerating infrastructure investment worldwide, our services are in great demand. We invite you to bring your bold ideas and big dreams and become part of a global team of over 50,000 planners, designers, engineers, scientists, digital innovators, program and construction managers and other professionals delivering projects that create a positive and tangible impact around the world. We're one global team driven by our common purpose to deliver a better world. Join us. Job Description AECOM's ICT & Security practice is growing, and we're looking for experienced consultants to take on complex, high-stakes work across Defence and Federal Government. The roles sit at the Senior to Principal level, meaning you'll lead design deliverables, represent your discipline in client meetings, and contribute to the technical quality of the team, not just execute tasks. The work spans physical security systems, passive (Layer 0 - Passive Infrastructure / Civil Infrastructure, OSP, external and internal cable containment, Layer 1 - structured cabling, fibre etc.) and active ICT infrastructure, and communications design, predominantly in environments governed by PSPF, ISM, and DSPF. If you've spent your career in built-environment advising, consulting, and guiding, and understand the difference between designing a system and deploying one, this role is for you. Lead the development of communications and security designs for Defence and Federal Government clients, from concept through to detailed, and construction documentation. Apply your working knowledge of AS/NZS 11801, AS/CA S009, DCCS, and DCRS to deliver compliant, buildable designs. Hold workshops and client design meetings, providing clear technical advice and manage stakeholder expectations. Mentor junior and intermediate staff and contribute to quality reviews across the broader practice. Qualifications What we're looking for: You'll hold a tertiary qualification in electrical engineering, communications, or mechatronics, and have hands-on experience delivering integrated ICT infrastructure, structured cabling, OSP, and physical security systems in complex built environment projects. You'll hold an AGSVA Baseline Security Clearance with a clear pathway to NV1. Candidates working towards RPEQ, SCEC registration, or RCDD/AVIXA accreditation will stand out, as will those with exposure to Systems Safety and WHS planning in regulated environments. Three to five years in a Defence environment is desirable, but the quality of your design experience matters more than the number of years. Additional Information We're one of the few firms in Australia with the scale, sector relationships, and technical depth to deliver at the intersection of ICT, security, and major infrastructure. You'll work on projects that matter, with a team that takes quality seriously, in a practice actively investing in its people and capability. At AECOM, we are committed to maintaining a secure and trustworthy recruitment process and take any fraudulent hiring activity seriously. To support this commitment, all newly hired employees are required to attend an in-person Day 1 onboarding at an AECOM office location as a condition of employment. AECOM acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands on which we, our clients and our communities live and work around Australia. We pay our respects to their cultures and to their Elders — past, present, and emerging. We are committed to connecting to Country in our work through meaningful engagement with First Nations peoples and businesses.
