Deliver projects that shape the future of one of Australia's most iconic sporting and entertainment destinations.

Imagine delivering capital projects across a precinct that hosts the Australian Open, international sporting events and some of the world's biggest entertainment acts.
Melbourne Park is home to world-class venues including Rod Laver Arena, John Cain Arena, Margaret Court Arena, AAMI Park, CENTREPIECE and Kia Arena. Welcoming millions of visitors each year, the precinct continues to evolve through investment in infrastructure, facilities and visitor experiences.

Working within a highly collaborative project delivery team, you'll manage projects from initial concept and design through procurement, construction and final handover.
What makes this opportunity particularly exciting is the setting. You'll deliver projects within a fully operational, world-class sporting and entertainment precinct, balancing construction activities with major events, concerts and day-to-day operations.
