EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The University of Sussex is a remarkable institution. The distinctive ethos on which it was established more than 60 years ago is still very much at the heart of the University. Sussex is a leading research-intensive university, highly ranked in the UK and world league tables, and recognised internationally for its research, teaching and outreach. The first of the new wave of UK universities founded in the 1960s, receiving its Royal Charter in 1961, the University now has over 18,125 students and more than 2,000 staff members. The University has a beautiful and diverse estate located in Falmer, to the east of Brighton. It is situated in the South Downs National Park and has amongst its buildings a core heritage estate designed by Sir Basil Spence. Over the past two decades, Sussex has doubled in size in terms of activity, with the University trying to accommodate this growth within its existing constrained campus. The University has therefore developed a £300 million masterplan – a programme of investment to modernise and improve the campus so that we can provide the best facilities for our students, academic and professional staff, and the local community. Investment in estate infrastructure is a key enabler in this. Given the scale of the investment we now require a Project Manager who will lead on brief development, design, procurement and project delivery on minor to mid-sized projects across the University Estate. This unique client-side project management role will give the post-holder great experience across a diverse range of projects. The role will give the University the capability to deliver best value for money and design quality, ranging from minor projects at circa £0.1m to £5m to significant projects in excess of £10m.
