Transurban

This International Tea Day, we're spilling the tea with our Workplace Health & Safety Advisor, Ashleigh. ☕ What is the best thing about working at Transurban? Definitely the people I get to work with and the ways of working. We work collaboratively and this is something we really take pride in. What does 'a day in the life' look like for you? A day in the life in our team is never the same - some days we are proactively out on-site doing inspections and walks, and other days we are in the office completing our monthly reporting. So, what is the culture really like? Our team culture is excellent! Not only do my other team members genuinely care about me and my wellbeing, but Transurban as a whole also places such a great emphasis on employee health and wellbeing, allowing us to work flexibly, which creates an excellent work-life balance. And what about your career? Career progression is extremely important to me. Transurban has helped grow my career by providing study leave on top of standard leave entitlements, which allows me to develop and grow as a professional and complete my Diploma without giving up my personal leave.

Construction is in full swing for the M7-M12 Integration Project, a game-changer for Western Sydney’s growth and connectivity. The project will expand the M7 Motorway and connect it to the M12 Motorway, providing direct access to the new Western Sydney International Airport. This will mean smoother commutes, and a significant boost to our local economy.

An A-Team operation took place sky high 🚁 over Melbourne's Bolte Bridge last Sunday. The AusNet and Zinfra teams skillfully worked to remove four marker ball flashers that reached the end of their working life. The marker balls, each measuring one metre in diameter and weighing two to five kilograms, were originally installed in 1997 to aid Police Air Wing navigation. Due to their age, the marker balls were removed for the ongoing safety of motorists and the community.

From Perth to Exmouth in an EV? This ultimate, 3,000 km road trip was no problem for our Sustainable Driving Manager. Buckle up and enjoy the scenery.

Another one bites the crust. There were supreme smiles as, slice by slice, employees of our Melbourne social club gathered for a dough-lightful lunch – from pineapple to pepperoni, we kneaded it all. #SliceToMeetYou
