Job Description

Opportunity to make an impact.

Join AECOM in delivering mission‐critical infrastructure projects that underpin Australia's defence capability. Our work involves designing and integrating resilient utilities and environmental systems that support the operations of Defence bases and facilities. These long‐term, nation‐defining projects offer meaningful careers with job security and growth opportunities, all while contributing to Australia's strategic future.

With a strong emphasis on security, these opportunities require Australian citizenship and eligibility for security clearances, ensuring that you play a vital part in safeguarding our nation.

How you'll make a difference:

* Delivering drafting and design on large multidisciplinary civil engineering projects
* Leading cooperation and collaboration across multidisciplinary team members, liaising with engineers and drafters (both locally and internationally) and ensuring timely delivery of design deliverables.
* Leverage your technical skills and industry knowledge to deliver high‐quality results. By maintaining rigorous standards and best practices, you will help ensure that every project meets the highest levels of excellence.
* Work on projects that improve defence capabilities, ensuring that our solutions are future‐ready and adaptable to evolving strategic needs. Your contributions will support the creation of resilient assets that are crucial for Australia's defence mission.
* Opportunity to mentor/lead juniors in the drafting and design team and wider Adelaide team.

Outside of our key defence criteria, the following qualifications and experience are highly desired, but if you don't tick all the boxes you could still be a perfect fit for this role. All applications will be considered.

Qualifications

The qualities that help you thrive

* Minimum 10 years' experience in a similar role, ideally within a consultancy environment
* Demonstrable knowledge and confident capability in AutoCAD and 12D or Civil 3D software packages.
* Proven experience leading and delivering design and drafting for large civil Infrastructure/Water projects, ideally with some defence project exposure.
* Ability to lead and develop designs independently in multidisciplinary projects, ensuring innovation, collaboration and safety are prioritised.
* Proven experience leading design and drafting for large civil infrastructure projects in aspects such as utilities coordination, drainage, earthworks and roads design
* Australian citizenship is required as defence clearance is necessary; an Associate Degree or Advanced Diploma in Engineering Design is preferred.

Benefits

* Flexible work arrangements available, aligned with the market and client‐facing role requirements
* Purchase up to 6 weeks additional annual leave per year
* Reservists leave and representation leave
* Flex public holidays – swap Easter or other holidays for ones that suit you better

As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we believe in each person's potential, and we'll help you reach yours.
