Just imagine a future with us... Aurecon is a design, engineering and advisory company, but not as you know it!

Drawing on our deep pool of technical and advisory expertise, we co-create innovative solutions with our clients to some of the world's most complex challenges. And through a range of unique creative processes and skills, we work to re-imagine, shape and design a better future.

What will you do? Are you a senior professional ready to contribute to major data centre or renewable energy projects, grow your career, and work with some of the most experienced professionals in the industry?

Aurecon's Program Performance team is experiencing significant growth across Australia, and we're looking for proactive Project Managers to join our expanding Melbourne team delivering a wide variety of projects. We are particularly interested in people with project management experience in either the data centre or renewable energy sectors.

This is your chance to be part of high-impact projects that make a real difference - while building your career in a collaborative and supportive environment.

You will be utilising your expertise to lead the growth of Aurecon's data centre and Renewable Energy Advisory offering, helping shape some of our key strategic growth areas. Depending on your experience, your focus may be primarily within data centres or renewable energy.

Here are the key things you will do:

• Mentor project professionals and strengthen delivery capability through practical guidance, collaboration and knowledge sharing.
• Provide senior oversight across project governance, scope, cost, schedule, procurement and stakeholder engagement.
• Drive winning work by identifying opportunities, developing compelling bids and using your market relationships to grow Aurecon's pipeline.
• Build trusted client relationships, shape delivery strategies and coordinate multidisciplinary teams to achieve high-quality project outcomes.
• Lead the end-to-end delivery of complex projects across data centres, buildings and renewable energy, providing clear commercial, programme and risk leadership.

What are we looking for from you? At Aurecon, we believe diversity of experience brings diverse thinking. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds who can demonstrate strong project management experience and a passion for infrastructure. Ideally, you will have:

• Significant project management or advisory experience delivering complex projects, with relevant experience in either data centres or renewable energy projects.
• For data centre candidates: experience delivering data centre projects, ideally gained with a recognised contractor, data centre developer, renewable energy developer or major market participant will be highly regarded.
• For renewable energy candidates: experience in renewable energy development or delivery, including BESS, wind or solar projects, ideally gained with a developer, contractor, consultant or other major market participant.
• Confident commercial judgement, strong stakeholder influence and the ability to lead delivery in changing project environments.
• A strong record of winning work, contributing to bids and converting client relationships into meaningful opportunities will be highly regarded.
• A relevant tertiary qualification or experience

Our Aurecon Attributes describe the types of people we bring together for our clients. We don't expect you to have all eight of the attributes, but one that is unique to you.

Diversity is at the core of everything we do. We work together to create a culture based on respect, trust, and inclusiveness. Our differences are what fuel our creativity.

Finally, 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.
