Come grow with us.

AECOM is continuing to grow our Ports and Maritime capability across Australia and we are seeking experienced Design and Project Managers with a strong background in Ports, Coastal and Maritime Infrastructure design to support our expanding pipeline of major projects.

These opportunities may particularly appeal to professionals who are considering a move to Australia, whether permanently or for a period of time.

Equally, these roles may suit someone interested in relocating to Australia for a year or two to support key project delivery, before returning to their home market.

We currently have multiple opportunities across Australia, at all levels of experience, as our project pipeline continues to expand.

How you’ll make a difference

• Lead the design management and delivery of ports and maritime infrastructure projects, including port expansions, marine structures, coastal infrastructure and waterfront developments.
• Own and manage packages of work, taking accountability for scope, program, technical delivery and client outcomes.
• Coordinate with AECOM teams across Australia and across the globe, leveraging our design capability to deliver complex maritime infrastructure projects.
  Act as the client interface, building trusted relationships with port authorities, government agencies and private sector clients.
• Manage project delivery end-to-end, including design and commercial management, programme coordination and multidisciplinary technical integration.
• Provide leadership across maritime and coastal engineering disciplines, ensuring designs align with industry standards and best practice.
  Support the growth of AECOM’s Ports & Maritime capability globally, mentoring engineers and strengthening delivery teams.
