  About the Building Commission NSW

  The new Building Commission NSW has been established after the NSW Government recognised the substantial progress made by Fair Trading and the Office of the Building Commissioner in delivering once-in-a-generation reforms of the building and construction industry. The new commission will not only be the industry regulator, but also a collaborator with consumers and industry to ensure standards, capabilities, capacity and resilience continue to be lifted across the sector to deliver quality homes and meet the state’s housing targets.
  

  The Building Commission NSW is an outstanding place to work due to its commitment to innovation, collaboration and professional development. With a focus on transparency and accountability, the commission cultivates a culture if integrity and responsibility.
  

  Those who join the organisation can be confident in contributing to meaningful work that positively impacts the built environment and the greater community, making it an exciting and fulfilling place to build a career.
  

  This is a fantastic opportunity to join the next phase of the Building Commission within NSW. https://www.nsw.gov.au/housing-and-construction/building-commissioner
  
  The Strata Building Bond and Inspections team

  We regularly receive enquiries and identify developments where a strata building bond has not been lodged. This could be due to deliberate acts or the incorrect assessment / application of the development as to whether Home Building Compensation Fund insurance (under Part 6 of the Home Building Act 1989) or Strata building bond and inspections scheme (SBBIS) (under Part 11 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015) applies or a change of intent to register a strata plan.

  The NSW Planning portal has a gateway requiring lodgement of a building bond by the Developer prior to proceeding to obtain an occupation certificate.

  - Driving the transformation of legislation and workflows into a range of key business and ICT projects including identification of bugs, defects, required enhancements and development of user stories for the continuous improvement of online platforms (ePlanning and Strata Hub)
  - Managing cross directorate stakeholder relationships at operational levels with improved customer experience and strategic impact
  - Being a positive, dynamic individual working across organizational boundaries to implement change
  - Customer focus and be detail oriented
  - Embracing a willingness to learn, continually upskill and work collaboratively with team members, internal and external stakeholders to provide specialist regulatory knowledge and skills
  
  To be successful in this role you will:

  - Be technologically savvy with sound ICT skills and experience across a range of applications, with an ability to be the conduit between business and systems requirements supporting system enhancements and upgrades.
  - Understand and be able to apply legislative requirements to business processes and procedures, undertaking quality assurance checks and making recommendations for improvement. Including but not limited to Strata Schemes Management Act/Regs, National Construction Code, Australian Standards specifically AS4349.2, Corporations Act 2001, and Home Building Act 1989.

  - Be flexible, show initiative and respond quickly in a changing environment while championing a harmonised approach to processes and procedures.
  - Understand the complexities of working in a regulatory environment.
  - Have a growth mindset and a passion for continuous improvement.
