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.
Reporting to the Head of Capital Works, you'll have the autonomy to drive project outcomes while engaging with a diverse range of technical specialists, contractors and internal stakeholders.

- Sound commercial acumen across budgeting, procurement,



contracts and financial reporting.
- Excellent communication, negotiation and stakeholder engagement skills.
- A proactive, adaptable and solutions-focused approach to project delivery.

Importantly, you'll thrive in a dynamic environment where no two projects are the same.

Why Melbourne Park?
This is an chance to contribute to the continued development of a globally recognised destination, working on projects that will enhance the experience of millions of visitors for years to come.
You'll also enjoy:

- Project diversity: Exposure to an exciting mix of infrastructure, construction, refurbishment and precinct improvement projects.
