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. For those looking for an international career experience, this could be an opportunity to work on complex maritime infrastructure projects while enjoying the lifestyle and natural environment that Australia is known for.
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. With strong investment in ports, maritime and coastal infrastructure across the country, these roles offer the opportunity to work on impactful projects supporting trade, connectivity and coastal communities.
We currently have multiple opportunities across Australia, at all levels of experience, as our project pipeline continues to expand.
These roles will play a key part in strengthening our Ports & Maritime leadership capability nationally, particularly as we continue building our senior technical, design and project management presence.
