Curious about a career in engineering consulting?

At Aurecon, we believe the world needs people who can engineer possibilities—curious, determined problem solvers who turn complexity into clarity.

We have opportunities in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington and Ōtautahi Christchurch for students currently studying Surveying, GIS, Geospatial Science, or a related discipline who want to learn, grow, and explore a career in consultancy.

Depending on your placement and interests, you'll gain exposure to different projects, technical challenges, and career pathways.
