Title:  Melbourne Metro Tunnel Project - TBM Operator
Job Number:  2749

Cross Yarra Partnership (CYP) has been contracted by Rail Projects Victoria, on behalf of the Victorian Government, to design and build the stations and tunnels for the Metro Tunnel Project. CYP Design and Construction brings together three of Australia's leading construction partners, Lendlease, John Holland, and Bouygues Construction, that possess the world's best experience in tunnelling, engineering and construction.

The Metro Tunnel Project will untangle the City Loop by taking three of Melbourne’s busiest train lines through a new tunnel under the city. It will create a new end-to-end train line, with twin nine-kilometre tunnels and five new underground stations at Arden (to be renamed North Melbourne), Parkville, Anzac, and two new CBD stations - State Library and Town Hall - which will directly connect to the City Loop.

As part of the Metro Tunnel Project, we are currently looking for Expressions of Interest for our direct workforce on a number of different roles. Working in conjunction with our recruitment, employment and training facility – MetroHub – we will require both skilled and unskilled labour who have a strong commitment towards safety, quality and teamwork. Our MetroHub has been established to support those looking at expressing interest in the project and have linked in with the Holmesglen Institute Skills and Jobs Centre.

All workforce employees will be employed through the CYP Design and Construction. As a minimum, you will require a valid Victorian Construction Induction Card and be subject to our CYP pre-employment checks (including interviews, medicals, reference checking etc).

- Maintaining and producing operational reports and daily activity logs.
- Training and mentoring other team members.
