About MRPV

Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV) is delivering a massive investment in the state’s roads.  We’re delivering major new road projects across metropolitan Melbourne and regional Victoria while improving the roads people rely on every day.

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.

Road Programs are also delivering dozens of new roads, bridges, road widening projects and major freeway upgrades.

Come and be a part of our centre of roads excellence.

 

Join us in building better connections for Victoria by:

• Coordinating and participating in stakeholder and community engagement activities, including attendance at a broad range of community outreach events, preparing and reviewing meeting invitations, agendas, minutes, and meeting papers.
• Creating and delivering high-quality communication materials and providing advice to support the delivery of major road projects
• Responding to stakeholder enquiries, working with the project team to follow up on actions and provide valuable project information.
• Assisting senior members of the Communications and Stakeholder Engagement team to develop and implement communication and stakeholder engagement plans.
• Preparing and reviewing a range of internal briefing documents and external presentation materials, working with team members across the various project discipline streams to ensure information is consistent and accurate.
• Contributing to regular reporting requirements for communication and stakeholder activities.

The position requires the ability to operate effectively in a complex, fast-paced environment with tight deadlines. As part of the North Package M80 upgrade, this role also involves liaising with external stakeholders and the community, representing the interests of Major Road Projects Victoria (MRPV).

The role primarily supports the delivery of a complex project in Melbourne’s north-east suburbs; however, it may at times be required to support other projects within the North East Link in other locations around Melbourne.
