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?
As our new water resources engineer, you will play an integral part in a team of highly skilled water specialists that ‘bring ideas to life’ for our clients across Aurecon’s Infrastructure, Energy and Water Markets.

This environment will allow you to learn from and collaborate with experts, further enhancing your skills and knowledge in a supportive environment. This role will provide you with exposure to drainage, catchment management, dams, water balance, industrial water, and water resources projects.

Your role will include:

• Conduct flood risk assessments, including hydrological and hydraulic modelling, for a diverse range of markets and projects.
• The opportunity to design hydraulic design of waterway infrastructure such as bridges, culverts, levees, dams, spillways, diversion drains etc and scour protection measures.
• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to develop solutions that have the client at the centre.
• Experience in hydrological modelling, water balance and/or CFD is highly valued. If you don’t have these skills, you will have the opportunities to develop these skills.
• Proven experience with Geographic Information Systems
• Min 1+ years experience in two-dimensional hydraulic modelling (preferably TUFLOW)

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, it’s 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 also have – a learning programme 100% personalised to you and the option to build your technical mastery in the Aurecon Design Academy which earns you a Graduate Certificate in Design Management from the prestigious RMIT University. Plus, you’ll be supported on every step of your career journey with mentoring, learning and our Careers Hub. 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.
