* Champion safety and sustainability, ensuring all project activities align with our Health & Safety and Environmental Management Systems.
* Act as the University’s representative, maintaining productive relationships with consultants, contractors, and internal stakeholders.
In addition, undertake other duties as may reasonably be required by the Head of Property Development.
What We’re Looking For

* Excellent working knowledge of AutoCAD
* A UK driving license is essential
* In-depth knowledge of Health & Safety regulations, CDM responsibilities, and environmental standards.
* Proven experience in delivering complex capital and infrastructure projects, ideally within a multi-stakeholder environment.
* Excellent communication, organisational, and influencing skills.
* A commitment to delivering excellent service, continuous improvement, and our University values of ambition, collaboration, and integrity.
* Experience within the higher education sector and membership of a relevant professional body (CIOB, RICS, ICE etc.) would be beneficial.
