Senior Program Officer, Private Buildings Cladding Scheme Full-Time Temporary

The Cladding Rectification Program oversights the rectification of combustible cladding on both Government and privately owned buildings. The Private Buildings Cladding Scheme was established in 2021 to test and assess the fire risk of combustible cladding on privately owned apartment buildings in the ACT, and mitigate higher fire risk cladding through remediation. Between July 2021 and July 2022, the Scheme offered a grant to assist owners corporations (OCs) of apartment buildings with the costs of testing and assessment. Since August 2023, the Scheme has offered a concessional loan to undertake cladding remediation to OCs of apartment buildings with combustible cladding which poses a moderate or higher fire risk. Major Projects Canberra also hosts a Register of Suppliers that includes qualified professionals for cladding work, such as architects, builders, certifiers, façade and fire engineers, quantity surveyors, and structural engineers.

The Senior Program Officer in the Cladding Rectification Program will provide support to the Program Assurance Officer to undertake the scheme’s assurance activities, and provide support to the Senior Director to administer the concessional loan scheme for the replacement of cladding on eligible private sector buildings. As a Senior Program Officer, you will apply your program management and administration expertise to support the Private Buildings Concessional Loan Scheme. Your primary responsibilities include attending remediation sites for assurance activities, coordinating stakeholder meetings, assessing technical documentation, reviewing supplier invoices, managing the Cladding team inbox, handling accounts and finances, liaising with scheme participants and suppliers with maintaining effective relationships with key stakeholders across Government while keeping accurate records.
