Major Road Projects Victoria is delivering a massive investment in the state’s roads.     

The West Gate Tunnel Project will give Melbourne a second freeway link between the west and the city providing a much-needed alternative to the West Gate Bridge and a vital second river crossing.   

North East Link will fix the missing link in Melbourne’s freeway network with new 6.5 km tunnels from Watsonia to Bulleen. We’re also overhauling the Eastern Freeway and completing the M80 Ring Road at Greensborough.   

We’re also delivering major new road projects across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria while reducing traffic congestion and improving safety on the roads people rely on every day. As a dedicated centre for road excellence, our work goes far beyond the tunnels, freeways, bridges and extra lanes. We’re focused on leaving a legacy that benefits communities, the environment and industry for generations to come.

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
