• About Sussex

Dear Candidate,

as investing in and improving laboratory facilities, building fabric services to enable world-leading research in the 21st century. We are seeking an individual that has demonstrable experience of leading complex life sciences/pharma/biotech projects in a comparable setting. The role calls for strong technical skills and will be adept at managing sequential projects, preferably being delivered in live, operational high public footfall environments.

• The Sussex campus

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. This is a vital role that will lead on the School of Life Sciences refurbishment and redevelopment programme across several ageing buildings on campus. The role will require the management of a phased development programme, refurbishing key elements of building infrastructure, as well
