Mentoring and collaboration are particularly important, and each person will form an integral part of a specialised team. Training and development opportunities are frequent, and your contributions are recognised and rewarded.
At Westera we adopt the following core values with each value impacting the way we operate and the projects we complete:
Westera offers both professional and personal employee benefit programs with the list of offers constantly increasing. At a snapshot, we have an Associate Program, a Mentoring structure with succession pathways, an Employee Referral Reward Program, Milestone Work Anniversary awards, and a range of social events throughout the year including the favourites such as inter-office golf days and a number of optional charity fundraisers (Kokoda Challenge, Movember, Push-Up Challenge for Mental Health Awareness, Bike Rides, Hope in a Suitcase clothing book and toy drives, Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea for Cancer Council, and others as requested and supported by staff). Each of our five offices holds their own regular events including morning teas, ping pong tournaments, personal training sessions, team lunches and so forth that work for their teams. But most people enjoy the satisfaction of growing their careers and the environment they work in more than anything, with the most common feedback being “I’ve learned so much with Westera!”
If you want to be challenged and recognised as you build a rewarding career, consider the roles we have available and reach out if you have the experience and willingness to succeed. We welcome diversity and inclusion, united by our core values and our overarching principal of People First.

We are looking for an experienced Civil Design Engineer to join our Sunshine Coast team and contribute to our forecast growth agenda. Along with having an established professional reputation, you will appreciate working as part of an agile and close-knit team. You enjoy mentoring junior engineers and are ready to make a positive career change – somewhere you can really shine while helping an already-successful business achieve its next stage of planned growth.
Contributing to our community and the future skill set of the Engineering Industry are principal elements at Westera Partners. Whether you have graduated from university, or you are looking for work experience as an undergraduate, we are looking for candidates with motivation and passion to join our industry.
When you are new to the workforce your best teacher will be your colleagues. Our succession pathways ensure our Graduate Engineers join teams and are mentored by our Senior Engineers. Westera employees are exposed to an endless variety of projects and techniques, using the latest technology and gaining real world experience from some of the brightest mid-level and senior engineers, designers and drafters in their fields.
Our 4-year Graduate Engineering Program produces confident mid-level engineers with an opportunity to achieve their professional accreditation status and build their own teams with increasing autonomy over the project lifecycle. Staff are supported through their professional accreditations and continue to receive guidance and support from senior mentors, as they in turn mentor their own graduate engineers.
If you would like to apply for a graduate position, or even explore work experience or paid work opportunities as an undergraduate engineer, please email your resume, academic transcript, application letter (including your preferred office and discipline of engineering) and resume to HR.
It is important to be surrounded by as much experience as possible. At Westera Partners I am lucky to have just that, with some of the most well-informed mentors at my disposal allowing my development to be accelerated.
When I first started as a young engineer, I found the approach the engineers at Westera Partners took refreshing and admired the attention to detail and pride in the quality of work that left the office. I experienced fantastic mentoring and achieved my chartered status within five years of starting with Westera Partners and have since moved into a senior role where I now have the ability to return the favour and work with younger civil engineers at the firm.
