Who We Are

Elite Roads is a leading road construction and civil infrastructure company operating across Victoria. Backed by over a decade of industry experience and a strong reputation for quality and innovation, we deliver complex infrastructure projects for a diverse client base.

About the Role

This is a hands‑on, broad‑scope accounting role that sits at the financial core of our business.

From where you sit, you'll have a panoramic view of the entire organisation and develop a deep understanding of how a busy, growing construction business operates. You'll work closely with the CEO, build strong relationships across the business, and have real input into how our finance function continues to evolve.
