Job description

Job Description
At AECOM, we are driven by a shared purpose: delivering a better world through innovative infrastructure solutions. From transforming transportation networks to enhancing connectivity for communities, we work on some of the most complex and impactful projects across Australia and beyond.
We're looking for a Graduate Engineer who is curious, motivated, and ready to learn. If you're excited by complex challenges, enjoy problem-solving, and want to work alongside some of the industry's leading Systems Engineering, Human Factors, RAM and Safety Assurance specialists, we'd love to hear from you.
How you’ll make a difference:
As a Graduate Systems and Safety Assurance Engineer, you'll gain hands-on experience while being supported by experienced mentors and a collaborative team. You'll have the opportunity to:

• Work on nationally significant transportation and infrastructure projects, helping to deliver safe, reliable, and high-performing systems.

• Learn from experienced engineers and specialists across Systems Engineering, Human Factors, Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM), and Safety Assurance disciplines.

• Develop practical skills in hazard identification, risk assessment, requirements management, and systems assurance.

• Contribute to solving real-world engineering challenges that improve safety, performance, and user experience.

• Support the development of key project deliverables, including safety documentation, hazard logs, human factors registers, and system safety risk registers.

• Participate in reliability and safety analyses that help reduce human error and enhance the resilience of critical infrastructure.

• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and build valuable professional relationships across engineering, operations, and project delivery.
This is more than a graduate role. It's an opportunity to build a strong technical foundation, work on projects that have a lasting impact on communities, and accelerate your career in a supportive environment where learning, growth, and innovation are encouraged every day.

• Commencement: You must be able to commence work by February 2027. We are open to mid-year finishers who are able to commence by July 2027.

• Working Rights: You must have full working rights to work in Australia before applying.
