Director of Estates and Facilities

As part of the University’s continuing transformation, we are seeking to appoint an exceptional Director of Estates and Facilities. The University has committed to an ambitious, long-term estates and infrastructure programme, including a ten year masterplan in the order of £200m. This includes major new (£40m +) cap-ex developments and wide-reaching Campus Optimisation and Campus Presence Programmes focused on people and place. This position therefore offers an exciting opportunity to reinforce the centrality of the University to the city and its communities, ensuring that the estate acts as a fundamental enabler for achieving academic ambition.
