Please describe the interview process and assessments.
Initial interview undertaken with the HR. Only one round of interview with HR/ Hiring manager/ another engineer. Questions were mainly around the personal experience, reasons why joining the company/ team and questions about the team.
Midlevel, Sydney
I did not join as a grad, but as an entry level role. My interview process comprised of a phone screening, in-person interview which involved a technical task and then an outcome. I appreciate the fast response from the HR team.

was interviewed overseas via skype call, I went to the branch office where the country I was in. Got the result in less than a week. Process took 4 months in preparation, immigration approval and in 5 months I started in the company.

I joined outside of the standard graduate dates (in June). I met with the team lead for coffee for a chat after a mutual friend mentioned I was graduating my Masters soon and looking to leave the finance industry for an engineering role. After that I was given an interview.
Midlevel, Sydney
The interview was fairly informal and relaxed. There were two interviews for me, this was so that they could meet their policy of having at least one woman and one man on every assessment panel. My panel comprised the HR person who'd reached out to me, my line manager and my office manager. There was no assessments.

Formal interviews with the team manager and a graduate
Graduate, Perth
Depending on the role that is being applied for is the process changes. In general for a graduate role there is a group assessment centre where graduates are giving a design task to work in groups on. Following this there is a one on one interview with the applicable discipline lead.
Midlevel, Brisbane
I went through the graduate recruitment process that involved submitting a cover letter and resume along with an online questionnaire. After that stage we had an assessment center and an interview and then I got the call that I was accepted.
Graduate, Melbourne
I was hired as an undergraduate so the interview was very simple. I was also the only candidate so it was to decide whether fit in the team.
Graduate, Maroochydore
Got a call from HR wanting to do an in-person interview. As I was in a different city to the one I applied for the job, they accommodated me in that city so I didn't have to travel.

Midlevel, Sydney
Applied online and was contacted via email from a recruitment agent. Was called as asked to come in for an interview in the office (in 2019). Was interviewed by 2 other engineers and asked various questions included what my interests were, when I was finishing up with uni, etc. I found the interview process was good and well setup.

Midlevel, melbourne VIC
Do you have an example of dealing with conflict? What happening with that one unit you failed at uni? Why do you want to work for Aurecon?
Midlevel, Sydney
It's been two years, I can't recall anything. I do remember being in total shock that I even had an interview as I'd been out of the industry for 6.5 years, and had been open about my disability, Autism and the fact I'd left my last job due to being bullied and therefore didn't have a professional referee. My memory is of an informal and open conversation where I was made to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible.

Do you have any specific tips and advice for candidates applying to your company? How would you recommend they best prepare?
Getting to know the team's main focus in day to day work, whether it leans more on the technical design and calculations, or project coordination and management, or technical advisory. Ensure you like that part of the work. Would be good to show your passion on it. Clearly demonstrate what experience you have got, can be a group assignment that you really liked or a part time job that trains your communication skills or team work abilities. Ensure during the interview, not only being suit for the job and also personally like the job and the team.

In my experience I was to nervous that I could not even prepare and sleep the night before the interview, but I guess as long as you know what are you applying for is more important and be honest.
Midlevel, melbourne VIC
Try to come in as an undergraduate intern if you can. In general try and be specific about what you want in your career.
Midlevel, Sydney
I was approached by Aurecon based on my LinkedIn profile as someone who'd been out of the industry for years, so I can't really comment here. My only comment is that Aurecon supports openness/honesty, even about difficult topics (e.g. disability in my case), so don't fear to bring your whole self to the interview.
Midlevel, Newcastle
Look up the organisation structure to be best aware of which industry area they would like to go into, then just be themselves and talk about their interests
Graduate, Perth
Be prepared for the field you are applying for. Asking questions about recent projects and specifics shows the interviewer that you have an interest in the field.

it's about the fit, not the expertise
Experienced, Melbourne
I would recommend that they research into the company and the potential roles they'd like to go into. Maybe even speak to some emerging professionals in those fields. Then use the cover letter and resume writing tips on our website to curate the documents.
Graduate, Melbourne
Most candidates have to go through the graduate program intake. I am not familiar with this.
Graduate, Maroochydore
Be yourself. Explain how you are different to the other candidates, what makes you . Show genuine curiosity for the job. Be technically prepared to answer simple questions. Be playful with serious intent.

Graduate, Brisbane
do some research into the company that you are applying for before the interview, expect to be asked specific questions as to why you are applying for that role in that office, expect to be asked what you think you can bring to the team.
Graduate, Gladstone
Try to be as relaxed and confident as you can in the interview. Know yourself and what you do well, and talk up your experiences and what you can bring to the organisation. Touch on their work and what they value by all means, but your unique skills and personality are far more interesting.
Midlevel, Brisbane
Just be honest and be open to learning. No one ever starts really great. Show a positive attitude and passion to what you do.
