Effective program and project management is inherent in an organisation's ability to deliver its strategic goals; whether that's meeting capital expenditure targets, effectively monitoring infrastructure costs, managing operational risk, or adopting innovative and market-leading capability in the management of assets.
Projects across all industries are under increasing pressure to come in on time and on budget. From establishing a portfolio of programs that optimises capital expenditure to providing certainty of project outcomes; capability and capacity, underpinned by digital technology, are critical in effective program and project management.
You'll be part of a team that provides contemporary advice on broad transactional and delivery management strategies, and business and infrastructure advisory services to assist organisations with their capital asset investments and portfolios across many industries and sectors.

Reviews
My role is as a Structural Engineer, working on Construction phase services. My day-to-day responsibilities consists of answering RFIs and resolving on site issues.
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.
Undergraduate Mechanical Engineer. My day-to-day responsibilities are to to network with the team around me to and contribute to projects with spare capacity for work, then work on that project. There are also scheduled team meetings and learning opportunities throughout the week.

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.
