Job Description

Join AECOM in delivering mission‐critical water and 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

* Deliver drafting and design on large multidisciplinary civil engineering projects.
* Work co‐operatively with team members and liaise with engineers and drafters (locally and internationally) to ensure timely delivery of design deliverables.
* Leverage technical skills and industry knowledge to deliver high‐quality results, maintaining rigorous standards and best practices to meet the highest levels of excellence.
* Work on projects that improve Defence capabilities, ensuring solutions are future‐ready and adaptable to evolving strategic needs, supporting the creation of resilient assets crucial for Australia's Defence mission.
* Opportunity to mentor/lead juniors in the drafting and design team and wider Adelaide team.

Qualifications

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.

* Proven experience (ideally 5‐10 years) in a similar role, ideally within a consultancy environment.
* Demonstrable knowledge and capability in AutoCAD and 12D or Civil 3D software packages.
* Proven experience delivering design and drafting for large civil infrastructure projects in aspects such as utilities coordination, drainage, earthworks and road design.
* Able to develop designs independently, ensuring innovation and safety are prioritised.
* 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.
* Flexible public holidays – swap Easter or other holidays for ones that suit you better.

If you are passionate about making a difference in Australia's Defence landscape and are ready for a new challenge, we want to hear from you!

All newly hired employees are required to attend an in-person Day 1 onboarding at an AECOM office location as a condition of employment.

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