Senior Civil Designer, Defence

Join AECOM in delivering mission-critical water and infrastructure projects that underpin Australia's defence capability. Our work involves designing and integrating resilient utilities and environmental systems that support the operations of Defence bases and facilities. These long-term, nation-defining projects offer meaningful careers with job security and growth opportunities, all while contributing to Australia's strategic 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.

How you'll make a difference:

• Delivering drafting and design on large multidisciplinary Water projects
• Working co-operatively with team members whilst liaising with engineers and drafters (both locally and internationally) to ensure timely delivery of design deliverables.
• Leverage your technical skills and industry knowledge to deliver high-quality results. By maintaining rigorous standards and best practices, you will help ensure that every project meets the highest levels of excellence.
• Work on projects that improve Defence capabilities, ensuring that our solutions are future-ready and adaptable to evolving strategic needs. Your contributions will support the creation of resilient assets that are crucial for Australia's Defence mission.
• Opportunity to mentor/lead juniors in the drafting and design team and wider Adelaide team.

Outside of our Defence requirements, 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.

The qualities that help you thrive:

• Proven experience (ideally 5-10 years) in a similar role, ideally within a consultancy environment
• Demonstrable knowledge and capability in AutoCAD and 12D or Civil 3D software packages.
• Proven experience delivering design and drafting for large civil infrastructure projects in aspects such as utilities coordination, drainage, earthworks and roads design
• Able to develop designs independently, ensuring innovation and safety are prioritised.
• Australian citizenship is required as Defence clearance is necessary; an Associate Degree or Advanced Diploma in Engineering Design is preferred.

Why you'll love working with us:

• Flexible work arrangements available, aligned with the market and client facing role requirements
• Purchase up to 6 weeks additional annual leave per year
• Reservists leave and representation leave
• Veteran Employment Support
• Flex public holidays – swap Easter or other holidays for ones that suit you better
