We connect Victorians through safe, reliable, and accessible transport. Our purpose is to give all Victorians opportunities through travel and transport – connecting them to jobs, education, family and friends, services, tourism and trade.
Our rail network covers vast areas of regional Victoria and into NSW. We operate in a constantly changing space with significant growth and unprecedented rail investment.
With over 3,700 weekly train and coach services, an expansive freight network, and millions of Victorians depending on us, we're committed to delivering more services, trains, cheaper fares, and huge projects.
About the Role

- Monitor and manage the impact of rail infrastructure on local ecosystems.
- Advise on conservation of flora and fauna, particularly those protected at state, national, and international levels.
Site Visits & Travel
This role involves traveling to sites across regional Victoria. You'll spend about half your time at our Flinders Street office and the other half out on site. On-site tasks include providing support to asset management works, attending site inspections, and ensuring compliance with environmental controls.
Benefits
- A salary in the range $104,121 - $127,214.
- A Tool-of-Trade vehicle for work purposes.
- 4-weeks annual leave and 17.5% leave loading.
