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

As our new Senior Acoustic Engineer, you’ll be a key member of Aurecon’s specialist Acoustics team, helping to shape the soundscapes of Australia’s most complex and high-profile projects.

• Mentor and train graduates and junior engineers, sharing knowledge and building capability within the team.
• Collaborate with architects, engineers, and stakeholders to deliver integrated acoustic solutions.
• Prepare technical reports, specifications, and modelling outputs using industry-standard tools.
• Contribute to major projects including data centres, battery energy storage, and transport infrastructure.
