You will support the Estates and Facilities (E&F) Manager and Deputy Chief Operating Officer by ensuring that the buildings occupied by the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus and Babraham Research Campus are maintained to a high technical standard through the day-to-day estates management of the facilities and the supervision of the technical and sub-contracted workforce.

Working within a team of four Services Coordinators you will play a key role in maintaining a resilient management structure for the LMB E&F team.

• Provide oversight of fault-finding and diagnostic processes, critically analyse complex technical information, and implement appropriate corrective actions to ensure successful resolution.
• Under the direction of the E&F Manager and Deputy Chief Operating Officer, manage and deliver various building modifications and small works projects, routinely acting as works supervisor or clerk of works for more significant projects.

• Ensure compliance with all relevant legislative and statutory requirements. Liaising closely with the LMB’s Health & Safety (H&S) Department and sub-contracted engineers to ensure that appropriate H&S considerations have been accounted for and documented as necessary within risk assessments and method statements specific to the tasks being undertaken.
