Expression of Interest: Project Engineer

The CPB Contractors and Seymour Whyte Constructions Joint Venture (CPBSWC JV) is currently working with the Victorian Infrastructure Delivery Authority (VIDA) toward the delivery of the Western Highway Duplication – Section 2B , located between Pope Road, Buangor and Warrayatkin Road, Ararat .

While the TOC process is still ongoing and the contract has not yet been awarded, we are opening Expressions of Interest (EOIs) early to provide our people with the first opportunity to register their interest in joining what is expected to be a high-profile regional infrastructure project.

This project presents an exciting opportunity for experienced Project Engineers to contribute to the delivery of a major transport corridor upgrade while gaining valuable experience across large-scale earthworks, structures, and live highway environments.

The Western Highway (A8) is the principal road transport corridor connecting Melbourne and Adelaide. It plays a critical role in supporting interstate freight, regional communities, agriculture, and tourism. The section between Ballarat and Stawell is one of the busiest rural highways in Victoria.

The proposed upgrade of the Western Highway between Buangor and Ararat (Section 2B) includes the construction of approximately 12 kilometres of four-lane divided highway , comprising:

6.5km of new dual carriageway highway between Pope Road, Buangor and Picnic Ground Road, Warrak

Upgrade and duplication of the existing Western Highway between Picnic Ground Road, Warrak and Warrayatkin Road, Ararat

Major bulk earthworks

Construction of bridge structures over the Hopkins River and the Melbourne-Ararat V/Line railway line

Removal of the existing Hopkins River bridge structure

Existing CPB Contractors and Seymour Whyte employees are encouraged to register their interest in being considered for a Project Engineer position on this significant regional Victorian infrastructure project, should Section 2B proceed to contract award.
