There has never been a better time to be at AECOM. With accelerating infrastructure investment worldwide, our services are in great demand. We invite you to bring your bold ideas and big dreams and become part of a global team of over 50,000 planners, designers, engineers, scientists, digital innovators, program and construction managers and other professionals delivering projects that create a positive and tangible impact around the world.

We're one global team driven by our common purpose to deliver a better world. Join us.

AECOM is expanding its dynamic Civil Infrastructure business in Sydney and are looking for an experienced Water Engineer to join our Water Infrastructure team.

Our services include network and treatment planning and design for water, wastewater and recycled water projects.

You will have world class people around you to achieve your results, including (but not limited to) our renowned structural engineering and ground engineering teams based in the same office and supported on a global scale, but one of your key challenges will be to prioritize your tasks on an ongoing basis, so it will be important to be organised and confident in your ability.

The role will involve you working in a team with a strong culture, a diverse project portfolio and you will have opportunities to take advantage of AECOM’s global reach.

What will a day in this role look like:

• Lead the design of water infrastructure projects.
• Provide guidance and mentoring to junior engineers and designers, contributing to the growth of our talent pipeline.
• You will have the opportunity to get involved in coordinating, managing and completing projects from inception, including involvement in the bidding phase, concept design, detailed design, tendering, and construction phase support.
• Ensure all quality assurance processes are followed, delivering on time and within budget for projects in planning, design and/or construction support.

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. Please apply, all applications will be considered.

What are we looking for from you?

• Extensive years of relevant consultant experience on water and wastewater infrastructure projects within a design (including design & construction) environment
• Design experience that demonstrates the development and evaluation of options to arrive at a preferred solution – water, recycled water, sewerage – all things Water Infrastructure
• Knowledge of water industry standards, codes, and common practices.
• Inspired to provide technical direction, mentor and train our junior members within the team.
• Champion new ideas, encouraging initiative and promoting innovative techniques and actions.

In joining our dynamic and market-leading team, you will contribute to the delivery of our growing portfolio of large infrastructure projects across NSW, Australia, and the broader region and provide our range of clients with brilliant and innovative solutions.
