Bridge Engineer jobs

At Aurecon, we are optimistic about the future. We are thinkers, solvers, and collaborators who work with our clients to deliver the infrastructure and assets that strengthen communities and create a sustainable future.

Our Transport, Land & Water team is changing how we design drainage and waterways across some of WA’s more complex road and infrastructure projects, from new interchanges and freight routes to safer regional highways and resilient transport corridors.

What you’ll do

As a Drainage Engineer, you’ll contribute to projects and programs that make a real difference and be part of a team that embraces challenges, welcomes diverse ideas, and engineer solutions with people and outcomes in mind. Responsibilities include:

• Supporting the design of road and transport drainage systems, including pits and pipes, open channels, culverts and WSUD assets

• Undertaking hydrological and hydraulic assessments for projects from concept through detailed design and construction support

• Building and using models in tools such as 12d, HEC-RAS, DRAINS, ORD and/or TUFLOW (or similar), with support from senior specialists

• Preparing design calculations, drawings, specifications and technical reports that clearly communicate the drainage solution

• Working with other disciplines (roads, bridges, geotechnical, environment, digital) to integrate drainage outcomes into broader project design

• Liaising with Main Roads WA, Public Transport Authority, local government and utility stakeholders to achieve approvals and ensure designs meet standards and client expectations

• Contributing to continuous improvement of our drainage tools, templates and digital workflows, including opportunities for automation

What you’ll bring

You’ll be someone who enjoys getting into the technical detail, but also understands that good drainage design is about protecting people, places and the environment.

You will bring:

• A degree in civil or environmental engineering (or related discipline)

• Roughly 3–6 years’ experience in drainage / civil design, ideally on transport or land development projects

• Working knowledge of Australian standards, Austroads guidance and (ideally) Main Roads WA design requirements

• Some experience with drainage and/or civil design software such as 12d, DRAINS, TUFLOW and/or Civil 3D

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to quality and constructability

• Good written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document and explain design decisions

• An interest in sustainability, WSUD and climate resilience, and a desire to work towards chartered status over time

How we support your growth

At Aurecon you’ll be supported to grow your technical skills and your career, not just fill a role. You’ll be part of a team recognised for innovation, sustainability and inclusive culture through multiple external awards.

You’ll have access to:

• Flexible and hybrid working arrangements so you can balance project delivery with life outside work

• Tailored learning opportunities and support to build your drainage, civil and broader consulting skills

• Technical communities and mentoring to connect you with specialists across Australia, New Zealand and globally

• A workplace that genuinely values diversity, with tangible initiatives supporting inclusion, reconciliation and wellbeing
