Structural Engineer Internship - Ports, Marine & Coastal

  Want to bring ideas to life? 

This is a very exciting time for you - full of endless possibilities. It’s important to choose a company whose purpose aligns with your own. Somewhere you can build your skills. Where you can collaborate with leaders and industry experts. Role models who help you deliver on real projects. And the opportunity to explore different career pathways. Aurecon’s paid Summer Internship Program has all that covered and more.  

So why choose Aurecon? It really comes down to one, crucial question. What kind of world do you want to create for the next generation? Truth is, the decisions being made right now will determine the future of everything – from the local community to the entire planet. One of those decisions is: who do you decide to work for?  

Choosing a career path as an undergraduate can be challenging. While you may have an interest in a particular area, you sometimes don’t know which path to follow until you’ve had some practical work experience. In our internship programme, you will be placed in a technical field of your choice (where possible) for approximately three months to gain experience in that field and help you decide if it is right for you. 

Aurecon’s internship programme coincides with the university summer break. At the end of the experience, we give our internship students structured feedback on their performance to assist in their professional development. 

How will your ideas contribute to shaping what’s next? 

As one of our new Structural Engineering Interns, you’ll be joining a technical centre of excellence in ports and maritime structures, as part of the Qld Industrial group. This means you get to work with an eminent group who provides services for our industrial clients, port clients and green energy export clients across many sectors including public, private, resources, defence and renewable energy.  A background in structural engineering, solving complex problems with our client’s large assets, and having a passion to learn and grow as part of our supportive team is key. Our work ranges from maritime structures design, port planning, complex structural analysis, sustaining capital and asset integrity projects, and everything in between. Our team is experiencing significant growth opportunities and are actively seeking new talent to be part of future successes.

What are we looking for from you?  

You’ll be about to enter your final year studying towards Bachelor of Civil/Structural Engineering or a related degree (Double degree students are also encouraged to apply). Additionally, our ideal candidate will:

· Have a solid foundation of structural engineering knowledge to draw from (hydraulic / marine engineering knowledge would be highly regarded but not essential).

· Possess a drive and enthusiasm to dive into marine orientated technical challenges and learn new skills.

· Be an effective communicator with the ability to interact with a range of different professionals including clients and stakeholders. 

· Have the ability to initiate and build relationships with both your peers and clients to deliver innovative design solutions as part of a collaborative team.

How will your future be shaped by us? 

Joining Aurecon means you’ll be part of a structured internship programme, with a pathway to our award-winning Graduate Program. The AFR ranked us as the Most Popular Engineering Graduate Employer, Top 5 among sustainability leaders and one of the Top 10 best places to work.  Plus, we made Fortune 500’s 2021 ‘Change the World’ list. 

You really can bring your whole self to work and be confident your voice will be heard. We don’t just claim we’re inclusive and innovative, as proven by the independent awards and accreditations we’ve gained. We’ve been recognised for our innovation culture, gender equality and our LGBTI+ inclusion. Plus, we have a robust Reconciliation Action Plan – our fourth edition since 2014. 

Think you know Aurecon? You may be surprised. 

Aurecon’s strength has always been our people. It’s our people who build our shared purpose and bring ideas to life. It’s our people who imagine and co-create with our clients a better future for people and the planet. Of course, you’ll probably know lots of our award-winning projects. The new Allianz Stadium in Sydney? That was us. Tāmaki Regeneration in Auckland? That was us too. And the Tseung Kwan O Interchange in Hong Kong? You guessed it, us. So, when you join us, you’ll not only be joining an international design, engineering and advisory company but also a community working together to tackle some of the world’s most complex challenges.
