About VIDA Roads

VIDA Roads 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.

Big Build Roads 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.

• Providing efficient administrative and operational support, including diary and document management, meeting coordination and general office tasks.
• Preparing and formatting correspondence, reports and presentations with accuracy and attention to detail.
