• Develop detailed design documentation including plans, profiles, sections, and construction details using CAD and 3D modelling software.

• Collaborate with colleagues, both onshore and across borders to co-create world-class airport infrastructure.

• Produce accurate, high-quality work that reflects Aurecon's reputation for excellence and aligns with our standards.

• Actively contribute to Aurecon's culture of collaboration, inclusion, and innovation and contribute to our growing aviation portfolio across Oceania and the Asia-Pacific region

• Contribute to design reviews, providing insights to improve constructability, workflow efficiencies and design integration.
• Participate in multidisciplinary project teams, supporting engineers in problem-solving and developing practical solutions

What can you bring to the team?

Essential:

• Experienced in CAD and modelling software (AutoCad, Civil 3D or 12d, or Open Roads)

• Understanding of civil engineering principles (grading, drainage, pavements etc) and ideally some experience in airports / airfields

• Attention to detail and accuracy (ability to produced technical drawings with a high level of clarity and readability)

• Effective communication skills (capable of collaborating with engineers, drafters, modellers e.g. aviation team members)

• A team spirit, an eye for detail, and a knack for creative problem-solving.

• Ability to work within project budgets and project timelines (balancing multiple tasks and multiple deadlines)

Good to have:

• A genuine love for aviation and design.

• Experience on Australia projects would be an advantage
