Expressions of Interest: Graduate and Early-Career Coastal Engineers

International Coastal Management (ICM) is inviting expressions of interest from Early-Career and Graduate Coastal Engineers (0-5 years’ experience) who are looking to build a long-term career in coastal and marine engineering.


Based primarily in Queensland, with most of our team located on the Gold Coast, ICM delivers coastal engineering services across Australia and internationally. We welcome applications from candidates located anywhere in Australia, with flexible and remote working arrangements supported by regular collaboration, site work, and project travel as required.


This opportunity is ideal for engineers passionate about coastal resilience, coastal processes, marine infrastructure, and practical engineering design, who want to work on projects that directly shape coastlines and communities.

  • Supporting numerical and coastal process modelling

  • Contributing to technical reports, assessments, and project deliverables

  • Participating in field investigations, surveys, and site inspections

  • Collaborating across multidisciplinary project teams on coastal protection, marina developments, and nature-based solutions

  • This role offers hands-on exposure to real-world coastal challenges and is designed to develop technical capability, professional judgement, and long-term career growth.


Skills and Experience We’re Looking For

  • We are interested in hearing from candidates with:

  • A degree in Coastal Engineering, Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or a related discipline

  • 0-5 years’ experience in coastal or marine engineering (graduates encouraged to apply)

  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail

  • Experience using AutoCAD and Civil 3D

  • Exposure to numerical modelling or coastal process analysis (desirable)

  • A sound understanding of coastal processes and coastal engineering principles

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
