The posting

Senior Dams Engineer – Water

At Aurecon, we are optimistic about the future. We are thinkers, solvers, and collaborators who work with our clients to deliver the infrastructure and assets that strengthen communities and create a sustainable future.

What you’ll do

As a Senior Dams Engineer in our Water team, based in either Melbourne or Adelaide, you’ll contribute to projects and programs that make a real difference. You’ll join a collaborative team that embraces challenges, welcomes diverse ideas and engineers solutions with people and outcomes in mind.

It’s an exciting time to join our Water team. With significant project wins and a strong pipeline of work ahead, we’re investing in the growth of our local dams capability. This is an opportunity to come on board as a senior member of the team at an important stage of that growth, helping shape the capability today and supporting the team as it grows into the future. In this role you will:

  • Work across dam projects through the full asset lifecycle, including site investigations, feasibility studies, design and analysis, construction support and dam operations.
  • Lead and contribute to dam safety management, surveillance, safety reviews and risk assessments.
  • Manage technical aspects of small to large-scale projects, working closely with clients from proposal development through to project delivery.
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships and identify opportunities to deliver value beyond the immediate project brief.
  • Work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams across Aurecon to bring together the right expertise to solve complex dams challenges.
  • Apply engineering standards independently, providing technical guidance and supporting high-quality project outcomes.
  • Play a key role in establishing and growing our dams capability, helping shape the team as our project pipeline and presence across South Australia and Victoria continues to grow.

What you’ll bring

  • 8+ years’ experience in dams engineering, with demonstrated experience in dam safety and risk assessment.
  • Chartered Professional Engineer (CPEng) status and immediate eligibility for RPEV.
  • A qualification in civil or geotechnical engineering, or a related engineering discipline, supported by substantial relevant dams experience.
  • A strong civil dams engineering background with an understanding of geotechnical, structural and hydraulic aspects of dams.
  • Knowledge and practical understanding of ANCOLD guidelines and relevant state-based dam safety guidelines and regulatory requirements.
  • Experience delivering dam projects across different stages of the asset lifecycle.
  • Strong communication and technical report-writing skills, with the ability to communicate complex engineering concepts clearly to clients and stakeholders.
  • The ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across multidisciplinary project teams.
  • A genuine interest in developing others, mentoring junior engineers and contributing to the continued growth of our dams capability.

How we support your growth

We believe your career should be a rewarding adventure. You will tackle some of the world’s most complex infrastructure challenges, in an environment that supports your ambitions, where we hold ourselves, and each other, to the highest standards.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
