Just imagine your future with us…

At Aurecon we see the future through a very different lens. Do you?

Innovation, eminence and digital are at the heart of everything we do.  Are you excited about the future?

Are you driven by the opportunity to work on some of the most challenging and complex projects around the world and to learn from the best? We are.

Diversity is at the core of everything we do. We work together to create a culture based on respect, trust and inclusiveness. Our differences are what fuel our creativity.

What will you do?

In this position, you will join our Infrastructure business, where you will play an integral part in a team of highly skilled specialists that ‘bring ideas to life’ for our clients across all types of infrastructure projects - from rural access roads to complex freeways, toll roads, system interchanges and water security.

We know the work we do is vital in assisting our world’s economic development and, it’s the technical expertise and the depth of knowledge of our people that really sets us apart. Here are the key things you will do to ‘bring ideas to life’.

• Use your knowledge of Hong Kong standards and codes to prepare concept design reports and detailed design specifications;
• Complete analysis and design of ELS and foundation;
• Prepare submission procedures and design standards in Hong Kong;
• Communicate effectively with the internal team and external consultants to produce coordinated designs;
• Preparation of calculations required for the design of engineering projects;
• Planning studies, conceptual and detailed design of geotechnical projects;
• Producing detailed designs and documentation for the implementation of medium to large sized engineering projects;
• Preparation of specifications, proposals and other tender documentation; and
• Undertaking site inspections and associated reporting, liaison with clients, sub-consultants and contractors;

We know today’s complex challenges can only be solved through bringing together diverse teams of people from across our business, so there will be opportunities for you to apply your skills and creativity to projects in other geographies and markets.

What can you bring to the team?

Firstly, you will share our genuine passion for re-imaging engineering and be someone that actively pursues continuous learning to help shape the future. You will also need:  

• Minimum 3 years professional experience in engineering consulting specialising in geotechnical engineering. Candidates without the required working experience will be considered for an Assistant Engineer role instead;
• Recognised Civil Engineering qualification (Bachelor/Master Degree);
• Proven technical proficiency and experience in geotechnical and foundation design and analysis on infrastructure and underground construction projects;
• Sound understanding and application of local practices and commonly used geotechnical analysis software including FREW, PLAXIS 2D, SEEP/W, SAFE and SLOPE/W; and
• A proven ability to be able to understand the ground and model it in all its complexity, and to understand construction sequencing of underground projects;

Our Aurecon Attributes describe the types of people we bring together for clients. We don’t expect you to have all eight of the attributes, but one that is unique to you.

Finally, we value that each of our team members brings something different to Aurecon. We look for people who have had a broad range of experiences throughout their career and can demonstrate how they have worked as part of a team to bring ideas to life. Does that sound like you?
