Essential to every aspect of life is the security and resilience of water resources. From economic prosperity through to social cohesion and public health, Aurecon understands the true power of providing water services to meet the complex needs of tomorrow's world.
Your work begins with making a difference and realising the true value of water for clients and communities. Water security, water use efficiency, climate resilience, sustainable sanitation, and reduced risk from water pollution and floods are all areas that are key to our planning, design and construction processes for water projects.
Our water capabilities are also critical in supporting future energy projects including hydropower and improved energy efficiency for treatment and re-use of water, the design of critical transport links, agriculture, and in developing water sensitive cities.
Who are we?
Aurecon is more than an engineering, design and advisory company.
The Australian Financial Review (AFR) named us Australasia's Most Innovative Company and Most Innovative Professional Services Company for 2020. We were also honoured to be the first New Zealand engineering company to achieve The Rainbow Tick certification for diversity and inclusion in 2019. We maintained our accreditation in 2020.
Hardwired in our DNA are engineering, design and the deep need to leave a legacy. We believe humanity depends on engineering; and we recognise we have a broader stewardship role to play. A deep responsibility to hold. As we continually strive for a life in balance, Aurecon clients will be ready for the future and engineered for life.
What makes us unconventional?
The people who design a better future for humanity are brave new thinkers like you.
We need you to draw upon unconventional ideas and piece together solutions to complex challenges.
From designing a breakthrough solar-powered water treatment plant that provides drinking water to Indigenous and remote communities across Australia, to using digital technology to plan and restore safe transport access to communities in New Zealand after major landslips. To revitalising and transforming a Hong Kong historical landmark into a place of creativity and learning for generations to come.
Join us and together we'll make an impact that shifts the world. Check out our graduate campaign video for more information.

Reviews
My role is as a Structural Engineer, working on Construction phase services. My day-to-day responsibilities consists of answering RFIs and resolving on site issues.
Aurecon have been very supportive when it comes to allowing me to work during my semesters at uni, however it is hard to understand what is going on sometimes as I experience major time jumps with projects due to my hours. I am mostly given admin tasks at the moment but context is given with most of it so it helps me to feel like I am helping the broader picture.
Undergraduate Mechanical Engineer. My day-to-day responsibilities are to to network with the team around me to and contribute to projects with spare capacity for work, then work on that project. There are also scheduled team meetings and learning opportunities throughout the week.

My team has a beautiful diversity - including leadership. I think I am having exceptionally high proportion of projects I really enjoy.
Opportunities to work on a broad range of projects, both locally and interstate/internationally.
Cons
Lack of work especially for grads. Unrealistic utilization expectations.
Unstable workflow at times, very demanding hours during peak periods.
Graduate training seems to be highly reliant on the quality of your projects/team leaders.
Expectation to work unpaid overtime.
The promotion decisions were not made in a transparent manner, and there seems no clear requirement for each level.
