Software Development Internship (Nov 2024)

Want to bring ideas to life?  

This is a very exciting time for you - full of endless possibilities. It is important to choose a company whose purpose aligns with your own, a place where you can build your skills, collaborate with industry experts and leaders, work with role models who support you in delivering real projects, and explore various career pathways. Aurecon’s paid Summer Internship Program has all that covered and more.   

Choosing a career path as an undergraduate can be challenging. While you may have an interest in a particular area, you sometimes don’t know which path to follow until you’ve had some practical work experience. In our paid internship programme, you will be placed in a technical field of your choice (where possible) for approximately three months to gain experience in that field and help you decide if it is right for you.  

Aurecon’s internship programme coincides with the university summer break. At the end of the experience, we give our internship students structured feedback on their performance to assist in their professional development.  

 How will your ideas contribute to shaping what’s next?  

As one of our new QLD-based Software Development interns, working within the Computational Design Team, you’ll be a vital part of Aurecon’s unconventional thinkers and dedicated doers who feel deeply passionate about co-creating solutions for automation, innovation, and digital enablement.  

You will be working within a small development team, rapidly iterating over solutions and engaging directly with the stakeholders within a full stack environment, primarily focused on Automation within the AEC industry. You should be familiar with Git, JavaScript/TypeScript, CSharp (or any C-family language, or a language similar to CSharp like Java), and SQL Databases.  

You will also be working within heavily Geometry and Mathematically inspired environments using systems like Custom Geometry Engines, ThreeJS, Rhino/Grasshopper, Autodesk products, and Speckle (knowledge of these systems at this stage is not required).  

Our team works across the following business units:   

• Computational Design – Parametric Design, Algorithmic Design, Data-Driven Design, computational geometry, Optioneering, Optimisation, Automation, Evolutionary Solving, Graph Theory, physics simulation 
• Software Development – Programming, web development, interaction and experience design 
• Digital Modelling – Complex geometries, interoperability
