To assist you in crafting the ideal career tailored to your aspirations, explore the possibilities within each department below and discover your potential.
Residential
Discover your path in Residential engineering, where your career thrives in the heart of residential development. As a graduate engineer, you’ll take charge of crucial tasks like soil reports, structural design for homes, and energy efficiency assessments. Get stuck into geotechnical investigations, wastewater systems, and construction inspections, ensuring safe and sustainable living spaces. Craft drainage and stormwater plans, manage water resources with soakage assessments, and contribute to small subdivisions, creating vibrant communities.
Civil
Join our Civil engineering department and embark on a dynamic career shaping Australia’s urban landscape. As a graduate engineer, you’ll work on a diverse range of projects, from residential and industrial subdivisions to road development, sewer and stormwater systems, and even sports facilities. Collaborate with stakeholders to create vibrant public spaces and contribute to retail center design. Your involvement spans feasibility studies, environmental sustainability, engineering design, and project management.
Environmental
Engage in a meaningful career in Environmental engineering and science, where your impact is felt in safeguarding our planet. As a graduate engineer/scientist, your responsibilities encompass waste soil classification, environmental site history investigations, and the formulation of Construction Environmental Management Plans (CEMPs) to ensure sustainable construction practices. You’ll conduct rigorous environmental compliance audits and human health risk assessments, prioritising safety and well-being. Dive into site remediation, groundwater testing, and the responsible decommissioning of service stations and industrial facilities, contributing to environmental preservation.
Aquatics
Dive into our Aquatics department where your focus will span from creating free-form swimming pools for homes, schools, and public facilities to the intricate domain of commercial swimming pool hydraulic design. Precision in commercial pool detailing and hydraulic design is paramount in delivering top-tier designs that adhere to industry standards and surpass client expectations.
Structural
Join our Structural engineering department, where you’ll build your career on a diverse portfolio of projects. As a graduate engineer, you’ll tackle structural design for housing, commercial and industrial buildings, schools, and more. You’ll work on everything from footing plans to utilising innovative materials like timber, steel, and reinforced concrete. Set to work on cutting-edge methods like tilt-up and precast concrete for various structures, including wineries, apartments, and even major retail developments. If you’re ready to shape the future of our built environment, your journey in structural engineering starts here.
Geotechnical
In our Geotechnical department you’ll conduct geotechnical investigations essential for both commercial and residential developments, ensuring their structural integrity. Conduct pavement investigations, addressing design and failure issues, and become a specialist in slope stability and settlement analysis, crucial for safe developments. Additionally, you’ll contribute to materials searches, vital for road construction projects. If you’re ready to explore the depths of geotechnical engineering and play a pivotal role in building Australia’s future, this is where your journey begins.
Forensic
Start your career with a compelling journey in Forensic engineering, where you’ll become a detective of structural mysteries. As a graduate engineer, your role involves investigating, assessing, and offering remediation advice for various types of damage to buildings and structures, including fire, storm, and flood damage. You’ll be a trusted resource for government departments, property owners, builders, insurers, and loss adjusters. Enter the realm of legal support, providing expert witness services for court hearings. Contribute to safe investments with pre-purchase building inspections and building maintenance appraisals. Conduct diligent dilapidation surveys before and after construction and become a specialist in structural underpinning.
