Job description

At Aurecon, we are engineering optimists who see the world differently. We ask what's possible and turn ideas into impact. Here, you'll bring your expertise to challenges that matter, alongside people who think boldly and are determined to make a difference.

What You'll Do

• Contribute to structural engineering design across bulk materials handling, mining, resources and heavy industrial projects.
• Work alongside senior and experienced engineers to deliver structural designs and engineering packages from concept through to detailed design.
• Undertake structural analysis, calculations and design documentation with support and guidance from senior team members.
• Collaborate with engineers, designers and other disciplines to develop practical and efficient engineering solutions.
• Build your exposure to clients and project stakeholders through participation in meetings, design reviews and project discussions.
• Develop your experience using structural engineering and 3D design tools across real-world project applications.
• Grow your technical and consulting capability through mentoring, on-the-job learning and increasingly challenging project responsibilities.

What You'll Bring

• Relevant tertiary qualifications in Civil or Structural Engineering.
• Around 3-4 years of structural engineering experience, ideally within a consultancy, resources, mining, industrial or related project environment.
• A good foundation in structural analysis and design, with an interest in continuing to develop your technical capability.
• Exposure to mining, resources, heavy industrial or bulk materials handling infrastructure would be advantageous, but is not essential.
• Familiarity with engineering software such as SpaceGass, Strand7, ANSYS, Rhino/Grasshopper, Navisworks or ACC would be beneficial. You don't need to be an expert across every platform.
• A practical and curious approach to solving engineering problems, with the confidence to ask questions and learn from experienced colleagues.
• Good communication skills and an ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary project teams.
• A genuine desire to learn, develop and take on greater technical responsibility as your career progresses.
