“At Aurecon, we believe in creating a supportive and inclusive work environment where young professionals can thrive, innovate, and make a meaningful impact. This recognition reaffirms our dedication to nurturing and developing the future talent of our industry. Our Early Careers Program are constantly evolving to allow graduates the flexibility to carve their own career journey aligned to their values and passions and Aurecon’s design, engineering and advisory capabilities.”

Speaking of the early careers market, Rebecca said it was highly competitive due to various factors that contributed to the demand for talent and the scarcity of skilled individuals.

“Compared with students in other disciplines, students in engineering exhibit a more targeted approach to job applications, concentrating on sectors such as mining and engineering consulting. With a growing number of graduate roles in the market, there is heightened competition in attracting the specialised talent. To continue to succeed in this dynamic landscape, Aurecon must sustain its competitive advantage in recruiting and retaining top engineering graduates.”

Internship opportunities focused on sustainability at Aurecon have proven to be highly sought after, attracting those who are motivated to gain experience and make a meaningful impact delivery sustainable solutions and outcomes.
