As a Structural Engineering Intern in our Brisbane Ports, Marine, and Coastal team, you’ll work on projects that shape cities, communities, and the environment.

Every project is different, offering continuous learning opportunities and exposure to innovative, real-world problem solving. As part of the team, you’ll have the opportunity to tackle a diverse range of exciting challenges, including:

Determination of loading on coastal and marine structures often considering wave impacts, cyclonic wind gusts, and vessel berthing actions.

Involvement throughout the entire lifespan of projects from conceptual planning stages to detailed design, throughout construction, and onto the continual management and improvement of assets.

Designing and analysing a wide variety of steel, concrete, and timber structures including offshore materials handling berths, passenger transport terminals, marine precincts, and redevelopments to name a few.

Using a range of design codes and analytical methods to achieve the best design solutions possible. Including the development and use of tools based on emerging technologies such as AI.

Working alongside clients to identify and tackle the challenges posed by our ever-changing environment in the face of climate change and rising sea levels.

Planning and supervising the real-world implementation of projects, considering transport options, installation challenges, and real-world aspects.

Feasibility and planning services looking at the next generation of marine projects including offshore wind, green hydrogen facilities, and maritime defence projects.

What your 12-week summer adventure will include:

Work on real projects that matter – apply what you’ve learned at university to opportunities that make a difference

Find your people – connect with mentors, buddies, grads and fellow interns who’ll support you along the way

Join Limelight – our early careers network that helps you grow your confidence, connections and career

Learn by doing – build practical skills through hands-on work, feedback and development opportunities - with the opportunity to transition into Aurecon’s Graduate Programme.
