Royal Opera House - Estates & Facilities Director

Main purpose of the job

The purpose of this new role is to ensure that ROH, at its 3 sites, has the buildings and estate infrastructure it needs to meet its current and future needs. We are about to embark on a period of significant capital investment with a programme of works aimed at improving our building and stage infrastructure. These investments are a first step to modernising our back of house estate and investing in sustainability. We intend to see a material change in the quality of the built environment for our performances, artists and staff. Alongside this programme of capital investment, we need to significantly improve our approach to planned preventative maintenance. This will require new management systems, investment in the renewal and replacement of our core engineering systems and overseeing a complex programme of works whilst continuing to deliver our exacting schedule of rehearsals and performances. To meet these challenges, we have decided to create a new senior role on the Executive team to provide leadership for all aspects of our built estates, lead on environmental sustainability and crucially develop our roadmap to carbon net-zero. As a member of the Executive team the job holder is expected to contribute to the strategic development and sound management of the organisation in collaboration with other Executive team members.
