Job Description

About Akura

At Akura, people come first. We are a hands-on, values-driven culture where initiative is encouraged, accountability matters and good work is recognised. You’ll be part of a team that takes pride in what we deliver and supports each other to do it well.

Akura is an industrial design and construction specialist, delivering high quality property solutions for owner-occupiers, developers and investors. With more than 50 years of experience, we’ve built a reputation on quality, speed of delivery and buildings that are made to last.

We specialise in industrial units, warehouses and self-storage facilities, with in-house manufacturing of structural steel and precast concrete panels at the core of our offering. We support our clients across the full project lifecycle – from architectural and structural design through to on-site construction and delivery. We also work directly with builders to supply engineered steel and precast packages.

Join a business with a strong pipeline, long-term vision and the opportunity to contribute to projects that shape Australia’s industrial landscape while building a career you can be proud of.

The opportunity to learn and grow on the job for those interested with less industry experience is also available, with on-site training and development.

We're a growing business with big plans for the future - we'll show you the ropes and give you opportunity to grow with us.
