Major transport projects creating jobs for Victoria

This massive overhaul of our transport network is creating tens of thousands of jobs across all types of sectors, from construction and engineering, to human resources and administration. You can work in the private industry with our construction partners or be involved with the public sector.

Job seekers can now search for job opportunities on these major projects, including the Level Crossing Removal Project, Metro Tunnel, West Gate Tunnel and Ballarat Line Upgrade.

The Victorian Government's Major Projects Skills Guarantee also provides opportunities for apprentices, trainees and engineering cadets to work on Victoria's biggest building and construction, infrastructure and civil engineering projects.

Training for the Future

The Victorian Government is developing a rail industry skills program, Training for the Future, to prepare Australians to deliver projects on the Melbourne rail network over the next ten years and beyond.

Training for the Future is creating the new generation of rail talent for Victoria. It will contribute to the Victorian families and the economy, providing opportunities to re-skill those who have relevant experience from industries in decline, as well as training people from disadvantaged communities.

The key elements of Training for the Future include:

Victorian industry capability
Skills development
Diversity and social inclusion opportunities.

This initiative is led by the Level Crossing Removal Authority, with input from Melbourne Metro Rail Authority, Metro Trains Melbourne, Public Transport Victoria, V/Line and industry partners.

For more information and to find a program that’s right for you, visit the Level Crossing Removal website.
