Job Satisfaction at Victoria's Big Build

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!

Auditing, filing tasks, compliance checks, design change checks

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.

Work is quite varied and rarely feels mundane. Like most jobs, it can be very quiet one week and busier the next, but it is mostly quite steady. Typical tasks include drafting letters, briefs and memos, undertaking legal research (mostly related to contracts but also some legislation) and assisting with internal advice.

Mainly project management and coordination activities related to internal development programs and other L&D initiatives. Good variety of work depending on my own appetite and timing of the year.

As a communications graduate working directly on an LX project, some things I'm responsible for are website/disruption updates and ensuring that all information is current and concise, attending team meetings and assist with door knocks/pop up events, publishing image galleries to the website, assist in works notice editing and distributing works notices to internal/external stakeholders.

Graduate rotations - rotating into different teams and providing support, this may include data analysis, meeting minutes, presentations

It involves dealing with the clients of the project and investigating the project requirements to ensure we are not over or under promising our delivery of the project.

My role and responsibilities change each day. And I enjoy that the work means that some days I may be in the office, some days I might be dropping letters in mailboxes and the next day I might be working out on site.

Day to day is interesting but as a grad I'm given too much work sometimes or expected to perform at VPS 4 level without getting the pay.

I carry out GIS tasks as a service for the other project teams. I contribute to advising teams on Survey related information and provide them with the necessary spatial data. I undertake business improvement tasks that reduce redundancy and improve our project outcomes.

Mostly project management and acting as a first point of contact for issues that arise from projects. Liaising and meeting with stakeholders to get alignment on resolution for issues. Involvement with design review process from a high level.

Graduate Civil Engineer working in Project Interface. Meeting with stakeholders and managing project elements are key responsibilities.

I feel sometimes my tasks (particularly admin related ones) are a bit tedious since I do them all the time, but they don't take long so I don't mind. Other than this, most of my tasks are quite interesting and I really like getting the occasional ad-hoc requests as it can break up long tasks.

Each day and project looks different. I work across many projects that are at different stages. Some days have a lot of meetings on the planning and information about the projects and construction timing, some days I am creating work and collateral to go out the public, other days I am at events or doing activities talking to the public about our work. There is always something new I get to learn and experience.

Grad Civil Engineer - Change control - Minor investigative work on correspondence history and design changes

Consulting with project teams, preparing briefs and memos, undertaking title searches, scheduling, preparing valuation requests

Within interface, day to day consisted of writing meeting minutes, sending out some emails, and overseeing a few spreadsheets. Many meetings. Not a high degree of responsibility.

My role would be best described as client-side project management. This entails reviewing works as performed by contractors for compliance to agreed project requirements, checking works for compatibility for various industry standards and operator standards, working with key stakeholders to get good outcomes for the community and the project. The opportunity also exists here to work with contractors on specific projects if you so wish, which would be closer to more technical work.

Every day is different. Can range from writing collateral, replying to socials, liaising with the design team to get publications out.
