Senior Structural Engineer

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 that 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? 

What’s the job? 

We are looking for a new Senior Structural Engineer to join our Building Structures practice in either our Sydney or Newcastle offices. You will 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:  

• Being the face of Aurecon to our chosen clients. 

• Leading and being a part of teams that undertake and perform design and analysis of concrete/steel building structures of a bespoke and diverse nature. 

• Assisting in the supervision and guidance of younger engineers and overviewing design calculations and details of the other engineers and drafters.  

• Delivering design documentation including drawings, specifications, and reports. 

• Providing construction-phase support on a wide array of projects. 

What are we looking for from you? 

You’ll have a genuine passion for re-imagining problems and for continuous learning to help shape your 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.

With at least 5 years’ experience in a Structural Engineer role, the ideal candidate will possess the following:  

• A relevant tertiary degree, such as a bachelor’s in civil engineering.

• Strong technical skills in complex structural analysis for bespoke structural designs.

• Experience in the coaching of emerging talent
