Want to bring ideas to life?

As an engineer you’re no doubt aware of Aurecon – we’ve been a leading design, engineering and advisory company for decades. This includes a presence in the Hunter of over 65 years. But why should you choose to join us?

Every project Aurecon delivers leaves a legacy. Every project has sustainability embedded in decision making. And every project is at the leading-edge of technical eminence.

But it really comes down to one, crucial question: what kind of world do you want to create for the next generation? This is most relevant in the Hunter Region which is poised for significant change and investment in the years ahead. Truth is, the decisions being made right now will determine the future of everything – from the local community to the entire planet. One of those decisions is: who do you decide to work for?

How will your ideas contribute to shaping what’s next?

The Hunter Region in NSW is undergoing a significant period of diversification and change associated with decarbonisation and energy transition. The region has had a long history with heavy industry including coal mining, power generation and manufacturing. There is a strong push from government and global forces to move to a decarbonised economy. The Hunter is well positioned to capitalise on this by leveraging existing physical assets and human resource assets. The result is many significant opportunities. This role is for an Energy Technical Director that will be the local lead for Aurecon for the energy transition in the Hunter region.

• And the Western Sydney Airport? You guessed it, us.

More recently we have been at the forefront of delivering major energy projects across the state as part of the roadmap to decarbonisation. Some of these include:

• HumeLink – a 350 km long, 500 kV transmission line. We provided Technical Advisor and Environmental Approval services during the project development phase and are currently involved in the detailed design as part of the delivery phase.
• We have been the Technical Advisor for the New England Renewable Energy Zone, for 8 GW of renewable energy supply and transmission in Northern NSW
• We are part of the detailed design team for the Central West Orana Renewable Energy Zone, which includes major transmission lines and substations for 4 GW of renewable energy in western NSW.
