Reporting to the Director of Estates, Facilities and Commercial Services, this senior role provides leadership across engineering, maintenance, utilities, energy and statutory compliance services for an estate comparable to a small town. You will work collaboratively to support teaching, research and student life, while guiding operational excellence, infrastructure resilience and long-term sustainability.
With a strong focus on energy and utilities, you will contribute to the University's net-zero ambitions and lead continuous improvement across essential services.
