University of Leicester - Project Manager

Dear Applicant

Thank you for your interest in this unique opportunity to play a leading role in helping to shape the future of this great institution. I was delighted to launch our new strategy recently with members of the Executive Board, the Chair of Council and our passionately engaged students, alumni and donor community. As we celebrate our Centenary we are also at an extraordinary point in our history. We are a university that proudly embraces diversity and where we firmly believe that our differences make us stronger. At Leicester we are fully committed to achieving our goals for improving equality, diversity and inclusion. You would also be joining us at an exciting and challenging time, when there is great potential to transform communities through some amazing ‘game changing’ projects from the Institute for Inclusivity in Higher Education to the Centre for Ethnic Health Research. Leicester has a rich tradition of inspirational teachers and research investigators who are producing talented graduates, discovering new knowledge, pioneering breakthroughs and ultimately transforming lives for the better.

Across the University’s estate, we have a diverse range of building types both on and off campus such as science labs, library spaces, leisure centres with swimming pool, lecture theatres, hospital sites and several hall of residence properties. This means that our teams are working hard to provide optimum working and living conditions for over 3,000 staff and 20,000 students. To ensure this, we are seeking an experienced Project Manager to join our team in delivering a range of capital and revenue projects. These projects will be delivered from inception through to post occupancy evaluation, and may consist of long term maintenance, minor works and major projects. This individual would also contribute to the development and maintenance of best practice processes and protocols, building on our strengths and helping realise our full potential. If Leicester sounds like the place for you at this stage in your career and you have the skills, experience and desire to make a difference, we look forward to hearing from you.
