About Us

TA Project Services is an Australian-based consultancy delivering civil engineering, town planning, project management, and surveying services.

The Role

We are looking for a high-level AI Automation Engineer to:

Design and build AI-driven workflows

Convert it into a structured, repeatable workflow
Integrate it into:
Asana (task workflows + internal communication)

What You Must Be Able To Do
Design workflows (not just write prompts)
Build multi-step AI systems using APIs
Structure inputs ? processing ? outputs
Handle real-world constraints (errors, edge cases, messy data)

Required Skills (Non-Negotiable)
Strong experience with:
OpenAI API (or equivalent LLM APIs)

2. Workflow Thinking (Required)

Answer this:

How would you design the system?

We are looking for:
