About North East Link 

The Spark Consortium has been selected to deliver the Central Package of the North East Link Project - Victoria's biggest road project.

The Spark Consortium’s Design and Construction Contractor - which comprises Webuild, CPB Contractors, GS Engineering and Construction and China Construction Oceania - will deliver the twin three-lane tunnels and key interchanges for the project.

The Central Package will be delivered as a Public Private Partnership and provides three-lane twin tunnels that will close the missing link in Melbourne’s freeway network from the M80 Ring Road to an upgraded Eastern Freeway, reducing journey times and diverting heavy vehicles away from local roads. Up to 135,000 vehicles will use North East Link every day, reducing congestion in the north-east while maintaining local roads.

About the Opportunity

To support the delivery of the North East Link Project, we are seeking an experienced Commissioning Engineer to support the Mechanical, Electrical and Intelligent Transport Systems (MEI) program through high-quality data, reporting and process standardisation.

Joining our established MEI team, your primary focus will be to build, maintain critical reports and dashboards that keep our multi-billion-dollar MEI delivery on track. You will transform raw data from our core systems into clear, actionable information that drives daily decision-making across construction, commissioning and asset handover

While the emphasis is on MEI testing and commissioning workflows, the role is open to applicants from any background who bring strong analytical, process and data standardisation capabilities.

• Support Project Handover and Spark MEI stakeholders to develop workflow requirements and iterative changes during remaining project phases. 
• Ongoing collaboration with stakeholders and execution of change management activities

Minimum requirements for this role:

• 3–7 years’ experience in reporting, delivery support or business improvement roles with a strong data and performance focus.
• Degree qualification in Business, IT, Data Analytics or a related discipline. Project management credentials are highly regarded.
• Strong capability in Power BI (or equivalent), advanced Excel (Power Query, complex formulas, pivot tables) and SQL.
• Hands-on experience using tools such as Jira, Visio and/or Figma to document workflows and manage requirements.
• Experience in construction, engineering or major infrastructure projects is desirable but not essential. Candidates from other sectors with strong reporting capability are encouraged to apply.
•  Exposure to requirements gathering and process mapping is advantageous

What we Offer:

• Ongoing career support and development opportunities
• Generous parental leave
• Strong culture charter
• Quarterly social events
• Reward and recognition program
