The National Capital Authority (NCA) is the Australian Government agency dedicated to ensuring that Canberra is planned, designed and managed in accordance with its significance as the National Capital.
Our work encompasses urban planning, development approvals, events management, asset management, heritage management, capital works delivery, education and commercial, leasing and licencing activities.
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 value of the asset base managed by the built assets team is over $1 billion and includes iconic assets such as the Carillon, Captain Cook Memorial Jet, National Memorials along ANZAC Parade, the National Capital Exhibition Centre at Regatta Point and heritage assets such as Blundells cottage.
The team also manage other more utilitarian assets classes such as bridges, roads, stormwater, paths, carparks, road and pedestrian lighting, traffic lights, and other buildings, minor structures, hydraulic, electrical and security related infrastructure.
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.
Reporting to the Director Built Assets the successful applicant will lead the delivery of multiple maintenance or capital works projects concurrently. Projects may be in various stages of feasibility, planning and delivery, and generally require liaison with multiple internal and external stakeholders.
The NCA is therefore looking for an organised and enthusiastic individual with well-developed planning, communication, teamwork and stakeholder management skills.
The successful individual will be joining a high-performing team that prioritises working together to achieve shared goals, where open communication, shared knowledge, and mutual support are highly valued. The role requires someone who thrives in a collaborative environment, can contribute to a positive team dynamic, and is committed to the collective success of the group.
Operating under broad direction of the Director of Built Assets, duties will be dependent on project priorities, but may include:
We acknowledge the Ngunnawal people as traditional custodians of the ACT and recognise any other people or families with connection to the lands of the ACT and region.
We acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region.
