INTRODUCTION
The Wellcome Genome Campus is seeking to recruit a Projects Lead to support the transformational development and expansion of its renowned scientific research campus. The Campus is a leading genomic research campus and home to some of the world’s foremost institutes and organisations in genomics and computational biology, including the Wellcome Sanger Institute (“Sanger”) and the European Bioinformatics Institute. The Campus is situated within one of the most dynamic and innovative life sciences ecosystems in Europe. The region is home to over 30 science and technology parks within a 10-mile radius of Cambridge, making it Europe’s largest biotechnology cluster. The Campus is also well-positioned to capitalise on the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor initiative. In 2020, planning permission was granted to grow the Campus from 125 acres to 440 acres. This includes up to 150,000 sqm of flexible space for R&D, laboratories, offices and other employment uses, 1,500 homes for Campus staff and their families, new community uses and social infrastructure, supporting community and social uses including nursery, conferencing, hotel, retail and leisure, food and drink, landscaping and public realm, biodiversity enhancements, energy centre, transport, utility and enabling works. The Construction Projects Lead will join to manage the delivery of refurbishment and lifecycle projects across the existing campus as well as projects to deliver the integration of the existing Campus with the new development. This is a great opportunity to contribute to a globally significant scientific hub and help realise WGCL’s vision for a thriving, sustainable campus community.
