About the role

AECOM is expanding its Ports & Marine capability in response to client demand and is looking for a Senior Structural / Maritime Engineer to join its Adelaide team. The role supports a growing pipeline of coastal, port and maritime projects across ANZ, delivering robust design, assessment and documentation with a focus on quality, safety and constructability. You will work with experienced engineers, contribute to multidisciplinary deliverables and mentor early-career colleagues.

Key responsibilities

• Deliver specific and moderate portions of broader engineering assignments under the guidance of senior technical leaders.
• Gather and correlate engineering data using established procedures, ensuring traceability and quality.
• Complete detailed and routine engineering calculations and relatively simple tests to support design development.
• Propose approaches to new problems by adapting standard procedures or methods developed on prior assignments.
• Identify and resolve discrepancies in results, escalating risks and issues appropriately.
• Provide guidance and day-to-day support to entry-level engineers and graduates.
• Work to agreed budgets and schedules with minimal supervision, prioritising tasks to meet milestones.
• Independently complete primary design elements for maritime and structural works such as wharves, jetties, dolphins, seawalls and berths.
• Participate in interdisciplinary reviews to coordinate civil, structural, geotechnical and M&E inputs.
• Develop construction cost estimates and estimates of technical effort for defined scopes.
• Complete the discipline component of Plans, Specifications & Estimates (PS&E) packages (or equivalent design packages).
• Perform quality control reviews of design calculations, drawings and reports.
• Prepare technical specification sections and contribute to design documentation aligned to relevant Australian standards.

Required profile

• Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering (or equivalent).
• Experience in structural and/or maritime engineering.
• Proficiency in the design and analysis of marine structures and foundations, with familiarity of relevant Australian standards and guidelines.
• Competence with structural analysis and design tools, and in preparing calculations, drawings and specifications.
• Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail, with a focus on buildability and safety in design.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor junior engineers and collaborate within multidisciplinary teams.
• Chartered (CPEng) status or progress toward it is advantageous.

What we offer

• Hybrid work options, whether from an AECOM office, a remote location or a client site.
• A wide range of compensation and benefits programs and a global well-being program.
