The Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA) exists to deliver infrastructure projects for the Victorian Government. Melbourne is growing - our population is projected to grow from 4.5 million to almost 8 million by 2051. Victoria's population is expected to be more than 10 million by 2051. This means Melbourne's transport network will need to cater for around 10 million more trips a day.

The Victorian Government's vision for Melbourne is to ensure that it continues to be a global city of opportunity and choice. We need to create a sustainable and resilient city that will serve us well into the future. Our Vision at LXRA is 'Delivering Great Change, Transforming the way Victorians live, work and travel'. Change for the positive is at the heart of our work, be it for local commuters, road users, rail commuters and within our organisation and industry.

We believe in inclusiveness, diversity and equality and are committed to ensuring that our workplaces are a reflection of the Victorian community. We recognise the benefits that a diverse and inclusive culture brings for our employees and in turn, encourage talented people from all backgrounds, abilities and identities to apply to our vacancies. We strongly encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, people with a disability and others from under-represented backgrounds to apply.

The LXRA Graduate Program offers recent university graduates hands-on experience on one of the most high profile infrastructure projects in Melbourne's history.

In LXRA's two-year program, you will:

  • Gain hands on experience in your discipline and make an impact from day one
  • Develop expertise in your field of study and within a fast-paced and complex project environment
  • Rotate through various functions of the business to build knowledge and broaden your skillset across all functions
  • Work with world-class industry experts
  • Help change the way Melbourne lives, works and travels.

At LXRA it takes a diverse range of people to achieve the level of impact we are having on Melbourne's infrastructure landscape. As a successful member of the 2019 Graduate Program, you will have completed your undergraduate degree between June 2017 and the end of 2018.

Please visit the project website to find out about the Graduate Program including eligibility, disciplines, rotation opportunities and how to submit your application.

  • Resume (three pages max)
  • Copy of your academic transcript (official or unofficial)

  • Responses to all assessed questions in the online application.

You must attach the above documentation by the closing date, otherwise your application will not progress. Candidates applying must have working rights within Australia as we are not able to offer work sponsorship.
