The Utilities Coordinator will review and approve all plans to break ground, ensuring works are planned according to the ‘Breaking Ground Activities and Utility Detection Standard’. They will support site teams in achieving compliant and safe utility works while adhering to EKFB’s Underground and Overhead Services guidelines. The Coordinator will also act as a point of contact with service providers for coordination of access and issue resolution.
