The Team

The Built Assets team is part of the Operations Branch and responsible for the asset management, maintenance, and capital upgrade of certain asset classes within the NCA estate.

The NCA estate is a high-profile area with very high expectations on its presentation and performance. All the assets managed by the team are expected to be managed to a standard befitting the nation's capital. This requires a high standard of works, presentation and safety for NCA assets.

Audit Work Health and Safety requirements across projects, ensuring contractors have appropriate safety documentation in accordance with contract and legislative requirements and undertake regular site inspections to monitor adherence to these documents.

Prepare and maintain project documentation in accordance with relevant Records Management policies.

Work with relevant stakeholders to ensure that NCA Asset Management System is updated with requirements for commissioning and capitalisation of new assets, and decommissioning and disposal of replaced assets in relation to capital projects.

Support the administration and development of the NCA's Asset Management System (AMS) and manage various business improvement activities relating to the AMS, such as assisting in the development of the Strategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP), Asset Management Plans (AMPs), short and long-term strategic work plans and preparation of budgets, briefs and reports to support built asset maintenance works and capital forward works programs.

Develop and maintain effective and productive working relationships with internal and external stakeholders, including other Government departments, cultural institutions, consultants, maintenance contractors and event organisers.
