OVERVIEW OF THE ROLE
Our estates master plan details our ambitious plans which will see £1bn of investment to enhance and deliver a sustainable and inclusive estate over the next decade; as Project Manager you will play a crucial part in the delivery of this. The Project Manager will work on a diverse range of estates projects in the £250k to £10m value range. Overseeing projects from inception through to design, construction and mobilisation, ensuring specification, time, cost, quality and sustainability expectations are delivered on. You may also get the opportunity to support Senior Project Managers and Associate Directors in the delivery of major projects valued from £10m to £100m+. The successful candidate will have gained formative industry experience in a project management, construction, architecture, building surveying or engineering role in the delivery of a range capital projects, and will have demonstrable knowledge of construction contract forms and the management of projects through the RIBA stages. You will have excellent communication skills, a positive and inclusive approach to stakeholder engagement and will demonstrate a genuine passion for delivering an outstanding estates environment for the University.
Sustainability and biodiversity are an important part of our work. To give just a few examples: in our Valley Gardens, we have introduced habitat piles to the woodland areas, which we hope will encourage stag beetles and small mammals such as hedgehogs. We have added bat boxes to the tree canopies and are experimenting with wildflower areas to encourage insects. We also collect all the spent coffee grounds from the University’s restaurants and mix these in with our compost. This adds nutrients to the soil as well as stopping weeds from germinating.”
