Technical Lead (Water Resources/Flooding)

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 Technical Lead (Water Resources/Flooding), you’ll be a vital part of the team who are changing the way we design and deliver major works to be carbon neutral and sustainable. Your role will include:

• Ability to guide emerging professionals and work collaboratively at both an internal and external client-facing level
• Managing opportunities through the entire life cycle (lead, proposal, delivery, and close out) in accordance with the Aurecon methodology
• Work collaboratively with Aurecon teams and act as a trusted partner for our clients on multiple projects. 
• Support and delivery of high-quality technical outputs to provide a quality product that meets client expectations

How will your future be shaped by us?

Joining Aurecon means you’ll be at the award-winning edge of innovation and sustainability.

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, as 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 potential 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.
