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; the Director of Engineering and Infrastructure will play a crucial part in the delivery of this. Director of Engineering and Infrastructure, reporting to the Executive Director of Estates & Facilities, will lead the strategy, development and integrated operational delivery of infrastructure management, engineering and hard facilities management services across the university’s estate portfolio. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate a proven track record in engineering leadership roles across large scale, operational estates portfolios with specific track record in leading the development and execution of engineering and infrastructure strategies. We are seeking a results-focused individual with a track record of leading measurable performance improvement in estates engineering management resulting in outstanding user experience. You will have excellent communication skills, a positive and inclusive approach to leadership 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.”
