Melbourne City Centre, Australia Department of Education Full time

**Fixed term
- full time position - 24 months**

**About the Department**

The department provides a wide range of learning and development support and services.

The department provides policy leadership, plans for the future of education in Victoria and leads key cross-sector collaboration. The department plays an important system steward role by providing support, guidance, oversight and assurance across early childhood and school education systems, as well as directly providing school education and 50 new early learning centres.

**About the Victorian School Building Authority**

The Victorian School Building Authority (VSBA) is part of the Department of Education. Established in 2016, it oversees Victoria's largest school building program since the state introduced free public education in the 1870s.

The VSBA upgrades and expands existing schools and plans, designs and builds new schools to meet enrolment demand. We also support schools to maintain their buildings and grounds by offering expert advice and coordinating maintenance programs and grants.

With Victoria recently introducing two years of funded kindergarten, the VSBA is also working with the early childhood sector on a massive kindergarten construction program.

**About the Division**

The Project Delivery Division leads the kinder infrastructure branch and school upgrade projects. Each branch specialises in managing a type of project - from early childhood projects to upgrade and modernisation works.

**About the Role**

The role of a Program Advisor within Delivery Division is to support the delivery of infrastructure projects by:

- coordinating all aspects of execution across the project lifecycle from feasibility, through to tendering, to project close to ensure expectations are understood and agreed, the program is maintained, key milestones are met, and that delivery, performance and financial targets are achieved.
- collaborating with internal and external teams on a range of matters, such as planning, design, legal and communications.
- assisting in the establishment and maintenance of effective relationships with diverse stakeholders in order to manage risks and resolve issues impacting project delivery.
- providing clear and timely advice and reporting on project planning, project delivery status, benefits and outcomes for a range of stakeholders, including Ministers, the Secretary, senior officers and project teams.
- knowledge and experience in the planning, execution, coordination and delivery of projects
- excellent communication and liaison skills and be able to engage with internal and external stakeholders
- an understanding and experience of public sector infrastructure funding and delivery systems is desirable but not essential.

All VSBA staff have a shared responsibility to meet the same service standards outlined in the _VSBA Customer Service Charter_. Our goal is to make every interaction with the VSBA a positive one for our customers, colleagues and key partners regardless of our individual role or team.
