Pavements Engineer | Brisbane

Design the pavements that keep Australia moving.

AECOM is looking for a Pavements Engineer to join our growing Brisbane team. This is an opportunity for an engineer with 1–5 years’ experience to develop their technical career alongside some of Australia’s leading pavement, aviation and transport specialists.

You’ll be involved in the design of pavement infrastructure across a diverse range of complex projects, working across flexible and rigid pavement solutions, pavement materials, design methodologies and rehabilitation.

Whether your experience comes from aviation, highways, ports or heavy-duty pavements, you’ll have the opportunity to broaden your technical expertise and work on projects where the engineering really matters.

How you'll make a difference

• Deliver pavement design solutions for airports, ports, defence, highways and other transport infrastructure.
• Undertake pavement design calculations, analysis and modelling in accordance with relevant standards and design methodologies.
• Develop pavement design reports, specifications, drawings and technical documentation.
• Contribute to pavement rehabilitation and strengthening design, including assessing existing pavement performance and developing practical design solutions.
• Work with multidisciplinary teams to integrate pavement designs with broader civil and infrastructure requirements.
• Support projects from concept and preliminary design through to detailed design and construction support.
• Collaborate with senior pavement engineers and technical specialists, gaining exposure to complex and nationally significant projects.
• Build your technical capability through hands-on experience, mentoring and access to AECOM’s global expertise.

Why this role

This is an opportunity to deepen your pavement design expertise on complex, high-profile infrastructure projects — working alongside some of Australia’s leading specialists.

You’ll work on technically challenging projects across aviation, ports, defence and transport — gaining exposure to different pavement types, design challenges and operating environments that will accelerate your development.

You’ll be part of a team where pavement engineering is a genuine area of technical expertise, with the opportunity to learn from experienced specialists while taking increasing ownership of your own designs and projects.

And with AECOM’s global aviation and transport network behind you, the opportunities to grow your career can go well beyond Brisbane.
