We believe we have a unique culture at URS, which sets us apart from our competitors. We aim to provide you with an engaging, rewarding and flexible working environment.
  • Flexible hours and remote working options

    We understand that each person is individual and that some people require more flexibility in their working arrangements. URS has a number of part-time employees as well as employees who work from home or other remote locations and we are happy to provide flexibility for you wherever possible.

  • Generous parental leave entitlements

    Paid parental leave is available for both primary and non-primary caregivers, including a payment upon returning to work.

  • Salary packaging options

    At URS you are able to package your salary to increase payments to superannuation, increase your allocation of annual leave, or for a novated lease for a motor vehicle (available in Australia only).

  • Free travel insurance, discounted travel and accommodation

    In addition to full travel insurance coverage for business travel, travel insurance is also extended to you, your spouse/partner and your dependent children when travelling for leisure purposes.

    All Australian employees can also make use of URS' corporate accounts to access discounted leisure travel packages and airfares, discounted hire car rates and discounted hotel/motel accommodation rates.

  • Salary continuance insurance

    URS provides you with salary continuance insurance which protects a percentage of your base salary where you are unable to perform your usual occupation through injury or illness. You are covered for injuries or illnesses that are incurred inside or outside working hours.

  • Employee Assistance Program

    We understand that life has its ups and downs both at work and at home. That is why URS offers you and your immediate family access to a professional and confidential counselling service with an external agency.

  • Health and wellbeing programs

    URS offices throughout Asia Pacific have a number of health and wellbeing programs for you including social clubs, sports teams, gym access, fresh fruit deliveries and more.

  • Focusing on our social responsibility

    Whilst delivering the highest quality projects is our primary goal, URS is also very aware of the impact we have on our environment. As such, we actively support sustainable working practices both internally and for our clients. We have a true commitment to a triple bottom line.
