Just imagine your future with us…
At Aurecon, we see the future through a very different lens. Do you?
Innovation, digital engineering and technical excellence are at the heart of everything we do. Are you excited about helping communities better understand and manage flood risk across Western Australia—from fast-growing metro catchments to regional and remote environments? We are.
Diversity is embedded in everything we do. We work together to create a culture built on respect, trust, and inclusiveness. Our differences fuel our creativity. We embrace flexible working and are always open to discussing your individual needs, so you can create an experience that works for you.
We have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Flood Modeller to join our Perth office, focusing on WA-based projects.
In this role, you’ll lead and deliver flood modelling and flood risk advisory work across a diverse portfolio—supporting infrastructure, land development, transport, water, energy and climate resilience outcomes. You’ll work on hydrologic and hydraulic assessments, develop and peer review modelling approaches, and translate complex flood behaviour into practical, client-ready insights that enable safer, more resilient decisions.
As a senior member of the team, you will:
Lead flood modelling packages end-to-end (scope, methodology, delivery and quality)
Support multidisciplinary projects with civil, water, environment, transport and planning teams
Engage directly with WA clients and stakeholders, contributing to trusted technical advice
Mentor and develop junior modellers/engineers, helping grow capability across the team
Contribute to proposals and work winning across WA opportunities
We are currently delivering landmark programs across Water, Defence, Education, Transport, Aviation, and Commercial sectors—giving you the opportunity to contribute to nationally significant infrastructure and community outcomes.
Demonstrated experience in flood modelling and flood risk assessment, including hydrologic and hydraulic modelling inputs/outputs and clear technical reporting.
Strong capability in one or more industry-standard tools such as TUFLOW, HEC-RAS (1D/2D), MIKE (FLOOD/URBAN) and/or InfoWorks ICM (or equivalent).
Experience undertaking flood studies (riverine, urban overland flow, coastal/tidal interactions where relevant), including sensitivity testing and scenario development.
Knowledge of Australian hydrology and ARR principles (e.g., ARR2019), and experience with hydrologic methods/tools (e.g., RORB, URBS, etc.) as applicable to project context.
Ability to interpret and apply relevant WA and Australian guidance/standards and work effectively with local authority requirements (state agencies and local government contexts).
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate modelling results into clear, actionable outcomes for non-technical stakeholders.
Confidence leading technical reviews, coordinating interfaces, and delivering high-quality documentation to time and budget.
Proven experience supporting proposals, building client relationships, and contributing to repeat work through excellent service.
Tertiary qualifications in Engineering, Hydrology, Environmental Science (or similar). Chartered status (or working toward) is highly regarded.
We know today’s complex challenges can only be solved by bringing together diverse teams from across our business. You’ll have opportunities to apply your skills to projects across Australia, New Zealand, and beyond—while maintaining a strong WA delivery focus.
Aurecon’s strength has always been our people. It’s our people who build our shared purpose and bring ideas to life. It’s our people who imagine and co-create with our clients a better future for people and the planet.
You probably know many of our award-winning projects already. The new Allianz Stadium in Sydney? That was us. Tāmaki Regeneration in Auckland? Also us. And major programs across the region? Yes—us too.
When you join us, you’re not only joining a global design, engineering and advisory firm—you’re joining a community working together to solve some of the world’s most complex challenges.
Then please apply. Remember, it’s you—your thinking, your technical expertise and how you bring ideas to life—that matters. Your background, individuality and unique needs will be valued.
