Projects teams include – Rail Projects Victoria (Metro Tunnel, Melbourne Airport Rail, Regional Rail Revival), North East Link Project, West Gate Tunnel Project, Level Crossing Removal Project, and Major Roads Project Victoria.

MTIA works closely with the Department of Transport to ensure major construction activities and disruptions are coordinated across the network. This includes plans to keep people moving through major work periods. We also work with industry to ensure it has the skilled workers needed to deliver Victoria's massive construction program.

I work on a couple of projects that are all from different aspects of the program. I am able to socialise myself in lots of different teams and areas of the program each day. Although I work at head office there is always an opportunity to go out for a site tour!

I spend most days organising hoarding for worksites, reviewing collateral, monitoring social media and assisting with stakeholder enquiries. I enjoy the work I'm doing but sometimes it can be a bit quiet, and I feel like there's not much for me to do.

Pros and cons of working at Victoria's Big Build

Pros

  • The best thing about working at VICTORIA’S BIG BUILD is the type of work I get. I really enjoy the tasks given and feel like I am learning at a good pace.

  • Flexible hours, supportive culture.

  • The workplace environment and culture. As a graduate, leaders and managers go out of their way to guide you and welcome you to the team.

  • Plenty of opportunities to get out on site or into the community to participate in more hands-on work.

  • The support for development (both within company and outside) and flexibility given. Culture is overall great.

Cons

    • Lack of clarity around the role going in leading to misaligned expectations.

    • Uncertainty of being a project rather than a permanent organisation, so there is not a clear progression trajectory.

    • The workload can be quite inconsistent depending on the rotation—some days you will be so busy, and others there will be nothing to do.

    • Limited opportunity to accept a full-time role within the organisation when the program was over.

    • As an engineer, limited hands-on experience on site
