We've designed our hiring process to help us understand how you think, approach challenges and work with others. It's also an opportunity for you to learn more about Aurecon, the work we do and whether it's the right fit for you.
Here's what you can expect from our four-step process:
Send us your resume, cover letter and academic transcript.
We’ll invite you to complete a short online assessment.
If shortlisted, you'll be invited to an interview, either in one of our offices or online, depending on the role and location.
If we both feel good about the match, we’ll send you an offer to join the team.
To be eligible for Aurecon’s Internship Program, you’ll need to meet the following criteria:
We review after applications have closed. This ensures we consider every applicant fairly, regardless of when you submit your application. Our team will contact you via email or phone if you are progressing through the process. We appreciate your patience while we review all applications.
Our internship runs from mid-November to mid-February every year, with two weeks off over the Christmas and New Year period. If these dates don’t align with your university exam schedule, we can work with you to find a solution.
Absolutely! We welcome applications from international students. As long as you have the right visa to work in Australia or New Zealand, we offer contracts in line with visa conditions.
Our expression of interest registration is a way for you to show your interest in our program before applications open. By signing up, you will receive updates about the internship program and alerts when applications open.
Registering for the expression of interest is not a prerequisite to applying for an intern role at Aurecon.
You don’t need to apply separately for the graduate program. If you are successful in the internship, we will assess you during the program and may offer you a pathway into our Graduate Program based on your performance.
Get a glimpse into the daily lives of our interns and listen to their advice about how to get the most from your experience.
