About the Role
This role is located within the SMP Unit of the Asset Management Branch. The SMP Unit manages and implements the SMP program and oversees school-led Planned Maintenance Program (PMP) projects. SMPs are five-year plans that support schools to: address condition-based defects identified through condition assessments; schedule, undertake, and record routine maintenance activities; and record and manage any asset hazards unique to their school sites. Using their SMPs, schools can effectively budget, schedule, and manage the maintenance of their buildings and grounds.
Key responsibilities of this role include: providing expert data analysis to report on and monitor the implementation of the SMP program (and other programs); producing monthly dashboards to track program progress; monitoring school performance across the portfolio; using data to identify schools requiring additional support; extracting and interpreting complex datasets; translating findings into actionable insights to inform strategic decision-making; producing ad hoc reports (as required); coordinating improvements to existing datasets; and supporting the Branch in other ways, as required.
