Develop your career by building your technical, project, consulting skills and experience as part of AECOM Sydney’s Geotechnical Engineering and Tunnelling Team. You will have the opportunity of working on a wide range of projects across infrastructure, transportation, water, dams, buildings, energy and environment sectors, delivering solutions for clients throughout the State, as well as throughout Australia, New Zealand, and internationally.
In this role, you will support the delivery of geotechnical investigations, analysis, and design solutions as part of a collaborative and high-performing team of engineers, engineering geologists, and technical specialists.
This position offers both hands-on fieldwork and technical office-based work. In the early stages, the role will involve a significant field component, including the planning and execution of geotechnical investigations across a variety of sites, with opportunities for travel. As your experience develops, you will become increasingly involved in technical interpretation, geotechnical analysis, design input, and technical reporting, supporting projects from investigation through to design and construction.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys being on site, understanding ground conditions, and turning field data into practical engineering solutions, while continuing to develop their technical expertise within a supportive team environment.
How you’ll make a difference
To be successful in this role, you will have existing working experience that includes having worked on site.
You will be motivated to build your technical capability and to work collaboratively in teams, both in the office and in the field.
The following qualifications and experience are highly desired, but if you don’t tick all the boxes, you could still be a fit for this role. Please apply, as all applications will be considered.
The qualities that help you thrive
Why you’ll love working with us

We offer a supportive and collaborative working environment, with access to mentoring, ongoing learning, and opportunities to grow your career. Our teams value flexibility, wellbeing, and work-life balance, and we encourage our people to bring their ideas, curiosity, and authentic selves to work every day.
