Introduction
The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) is a leading modern University and one of the UK’s largest with a student and staff community approaching 38,000 and turnover in excess of £225m.
The UCLan core campus in the University’s home city of Preston covers a significant swathe of the city (an area of approximately 15 hectares with 63 buildings) and has been rejuvenated over the last 5 years with a £200m Campus Masterplan. UCLan has also invested significantly in recent years in its Burnley campus to serve Pennine Lancashire. Collectively the campus estate creates an eclectic and highly visible built environment to support UCLan’s Mission and Strategic Aims. We are seeking to make the crucial leadership appointment to the role of Director of Facilities and Capital Projects. Following the amalgamation of the Capital Projects and Estates & Facilities functions the postholder will lead the development and delivery of the Estate Strategy and Masterplan whilst ensuring that customer-focused estates and facilities management services are experienced by students, staff, visitors and partners of UCLan. You will lead a diverse portfolio of services with teams spanning the areas of masterplanning & capital projects, maintenance, engineering & infrastructure management, space management, estates helpdesk, security, cleaning, health & safety, sustainability & energy management and grounds management. We are seeking a highly motivated and results-focused individual with excellent interpersonal, communication and leadership skills. Innovative and entrepreneurial, you will enjoy working at pace and across a diverse portfolio of activities. The role offers a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious and enthusiastic individual to play a key part in the continuing and future success of the University and its wider role in the North West region. We look forward to hearing from you.
