Description

Want to bring ideas to life? As an Engineer, you’re likely familiar with Aurecon - an established leader in design, engineering, and advisory services. But what makes joining us the right next step for you? Every project we deliver shapes a better future - with sustainability, innovation and technical excellence at its core. Ultimately, it comes down to one question: What kind of world do you want to create for the next generation? The choices we make today shape tomorrow - for our communities to our planet. At Aurecon, you have the opportunity to make those choices matter. How will your ideas contribute to shaping what’s next? As our new Senior Acoustic Engineer, you’ll be a key member of Aurecon’s specialist Acoustics team, helping to shape the soundscapes of Australia’s most complex and high‑profile projects. You’ll join a tight‑knit, collaborative team of more than 10 specialists across Melbourne, Adelaide, and Sydney - large enough to work on tier‑one projects, small enough that your impact is seen and valued. Unlike many firms that silo engineers into architectural or environmental acoustics, Aurecon offers the rare opportunity to work across both, building a broad, future‑proof skillset. This role is ideal for someone with 5–6 years of experience who thrives in a technically challenging environment, enjoys mentoring junior engineers, and is passionate about creating spaces that sound as good as they look - from performance‑driven buildings to large‑scale infrastructure. Here are the key things you will do to ‘bring ideas to life’: Lead and contribute to acoustic design for buildings, including sound privacy, reverberation, and noise control. Support environmental noise assessments and environmental compliance for infrastructure and energy projects. Work independently to deliver technical solutions and ask the right questions to guide design outcomes. Mentor and train graduates and junior engineers, sharing knowledge and building capability within the team. Collaborate with architects, engineers, and stakeholders to deliver integrated acoustic solutions. Prepare technical reports, specifications, and modelling outputs using industry-standard tools. Contribute to major projects including data centres, battery energy storage, and transport infrastructure. How will your future be shaped by us? Joining Aurecon means you’ll be at the award‑winning edge of innovation and sustainability. We’ve been ranked in the Top 5 sustainability leaders and Top 3 most innovative companies in professional services by the AFR. Our work has earned accolades including the One Consult Innovative Design Award and Consult Australia’s Large Firm of the Year. You’ll also benefit from working within a multidisciplinary environment where acoustics, mechanical engineering, architecture, vibration, sustainability and digital delivery teams sit under one roof - giving you unmatched exposure to varied technical disciplines and development pathways. Flexible work is not just a policy — it’s part of our culture. Whether you prefer hybrid work, flexible hours, part‑time arrangements we support balance so you can do your best work. What we’re looking for: Degree qualified in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline. 5–6 years’ experience in architectural and/or environmental acoustics. Strong technical capability in acoustic modelling, analysis, and reporting. Ability to work independently and mentor junior team members. Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills. Passion for innovation and sustainability in acoustic design. Familiarity with state EPA guidelines and Australian Standards. Who is Aurecon? 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. You’ll probably know many of our award‑winning projects. The new Allianz Stadium in Sydney? That was us. Tāmaki Regeneration in Auckland? Us too. And the Tseung Kwan O Interchange in Hong Kong? Yes, also us. When you join Aurecon, you join a community working together to tackle some of the world’s most complex challenges — and a place where your work truly makes an impact. Ready to bring ideas to life? Then please apply. Remember, it’s you and how you bring ideas to life which are important. Your background, unique needs and individuality will be valued.
