What's the role

The Access & Fabric Maintenance Coordinator swill provide company-side governance, assurance and execution coordination for Work-at-Height access systems and fabric maintenance activities. Ensure safe, compliant and right-first-time delivery across scaffolding and alternative access methods (including rope access) and fabric scopes (insulation, coating/painting including TSA interface, and fireproofing), while driving contractor performance and cost effectiveness.

What you'll be doing

Key Accountabilities

• HSSE & Goal Zero
  
  
  • Demonstrate visible field safety leadership; enforce Work-at-Height controls and Life-Saving Rules.

• Alternative Access & Rope Access Governance
  
  
  • Act as the first-hand focal point for all scaffolding contractor communications and interfaces.
  • Audit scaffolding contractor performance in consultation with the Contract Holder (HSSE, quality, productivity, compliance) and ensure actions are closed out.
  • Verify the contractor provides adequate supervision of the work in hand at each workfront/shift (competent foreman/supervisor coverage and authorisations).
  • Ensure erection, modification and dismantling of scaffolds commence only under direct supervision of a competent foreman/supervisor.
  • Ensure contractor adherence to applicable standards and codes of practice for scaffold materials, erection, inspection, maintenance and dismantling.
  • Ensure scaffold integrity is maintained following modifications and adverse weather; require re-inspection and re-certification before return to service.
  • Review design drawings for special scaffolds and ensure construction in accordance with approved designs.
  • Periodically inspect scaffold materials and controls in contractor yard/facilities (condition, certification/traceability, storage, quarantine/removal of defective items).
  • Ensure competency of contractor personnel and role authorisations relevant to the permit-to-work system.
  • Drive safe selection and adoption of alternative access methods to reduce scaffolding exposure (risk-based selection and continuous improvement).
  • Assure rope access competence and planning controls where applicable.
• Fabric Maintenance Assurance (Insulation / Coating / Fireproofing)
  
  
  • Provide governance and field assurance for insulation/cladding, coating/painting quality (including TSA interfaces) and fireproofing.
  • Drive first-time-right quality, minimise rework and maintain robust close-out evidence.
• Planning & Delivery Integration
  
  
  • Assure workpack readiness (scope clarity, access strategy, resources/material readiness) and manage constraints/interfaces with stakeholders.
  • Lead progress reviews, remove roadblocks and escalate risks/discoveries early within governance.
• Commercial & Contractor Performance
  
  
  • Monitor contractor performance vs KPIs; verify completion and quality prior to invoice/service entry approval steps.
  • Drive corrective actions and continuous improvement with contractor leadership and the Contract Holder.
