This senior role is essential for the smooth operation of the Building. It includes proactive and reactive maintenance, together with special projects. Management from inception to completion, together with the accountability of these projects forms a key area of the role. You will manage a planned and breakdown maintenance service for all mechanical and electrical plant and services within the Building, involving colleagues from the University Estates Division and external contractors where necessary.

Working closely with senior managers, you will also be responsible for the planning, implementation and supervision of any alterations or refurbishments within the Building.
