The Victorian Building Authority (VBA) regulates building and plumbing practitioners to ensure the achievement of efficient and competitive building and plumbing industries in Victoria. The VBA acts in the interests of consumers and industry participants for the benefit of all Victorians.
The Cladding team sits within the broader VBA Operations Group. The Director, Cladding is responsible for leading the delivery of the State-Wide Cladding Audit Program (SCA), the only program of its type in Australia, and leads the Cladding team. The SCA was established in 2017 in response to a range of local high-profile building cladding fires, and the tragic fire at London’s Grenfell Tower. This position is pivotal in maintaining partnerships with other agencies, practitioners, and the community to address the issue of non-compliant combustible cladding.
A successful Director will have the ability to drive strategic solutions to complex problems while ensuring operational delivery, lead a multi-disciplinary team within a fast-paced environment and build relationships with a diverse group of stakeholders.
The VBA has adopted a blended workforce model as part of our Reimagined Future, with people working between home and/or our CBA office.
Key attributes sought:
Both a strategic and operational, high functioning transformation leader who is not afraid to roll up their sleeves and has an eye for detail.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills underpinned by integrity, credibility and gravitas.
