Aurecon have been very supportive when it comes to allowing me to work during my semesters at uni, however it is hard to understand what is going on sometimes as I experience major time jumps with projects due to my hours. I am mostly given admin tasks at the moment but context is given with most of it so it helps me to feel like I am helping the broader picture.

Pros and cons of working at Aurecon Australia

Pros

  • I have a lot of flexibility and we work on tier one projects.

  • The best thing about my job is the flexibility it offers. I really appreciate the option to work hybrid.

  • Everyone is extremely supportive and helpful. Yet to meet a person that wouldn't assist me.

  • My team has a beautiful diversity - including leadership. I think I am having exceptionally high proportion of projects I really enjoy.

  • Opportunities to work on a broad range of projects, both locally and interstate/internationally.

Cons

    • Lack of work especially for grads. Unrealistic utilization expectations.

    • Unstable workflow at times, very demanding hours during peak periods.

    • Graduate training seems to be highly reliant on the quality of your projects/team leaders.

    • Expectation to work unpaid overtime.

    • The promotion decisions were not made in a transparent manner, and there seems no clear requirement for each level.
