Lead Civil Designer - Defence

Lead Civil Designer - Defence

Join AECOM's Water Business and apply your expertise to mission-critical defence water infrastructure that protects people, assets, and the environment.

We plan, design, and deliver end-to-end solutions - potable water security, advanced wastewater and recycled water treatment, stormwater and flood resilience, coastal and marine systems, contamination management, and whole-of-life asset strategies - under the standards, schedules, and security requirements that defence demands.

You'll collaborate with our multidisciplinary team of process, civil and environmental engineers, hydrologists, and digital delivery specialists, using BIM, data analytics, and model-based engineering to solve complex challenges and build a more resilient, sustainable water future.

With a strong emphasis on security, these opportunities require Australian citizenship and eligibility for security clearances, ensuring that you play a vital part in safeguarding our nation. If you're ready to be part of something impactful and exciting, come help us build the infrastructure that keeps Australia's Defence capabilities strong.

Outside of our key defence criteria, 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.
