The Directorate of Estates and Facilities Management (E&FM) is responsible for the management and day-to-day running of the University estate and for ensuring essential services are in place for all who work, study and visit Glasgow Caledonian. E&FM also leads strategic planning and transformation of the University estate to a modern, responsive and sustainable built environment that enhances student, staff and visitor experience and enacts the University\'s core purpose of delivering high-quality Learning & Teaching.
Over the next 4 years the University will invest significantly in our Glasgow and London campuses via capital investment projects, planned maintenance projects and multiple maintenance works and interventions, defining a fit-for-purpose campus that is vibrant, productive and connected.
We invite applications for an experienced commercial Electrician to join the E&FM Directorate on a 1.0FTE (35 hours per week) basis due to promotion of the current post holder and ongoing maintenance management needs at Glasgow campus. The role supports the Directorate in developing an Asset Management approach for the maintenance of the University\'s estate, including buildings, architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing and drainage assets. This role is ideal for an Electrician with commercial experience in maintenance or installations.
Working with the Electrical Supervisor and the Maintenance Manager, the postholder will ensure the efficiency and safety of our electrical installation, distribution systems and related equipment. This will cover planned preventative maintenance, reactive maintenance and support of minor works and projects. The post holder will also work alongside maintenance contractors in electrical, fire safety and other related systems to uphold high standards of workmanship and maintenance.
This post is essential to support the safe, compliant and comfortable operation of campus services, promoting the University\'s interests with contractors carrying out works on behalf of the University. It also contributes to resilience, knowledge storage and succession planning within the maintenance team.
Experience of working in a similar role in a Higher Education environment would be advantageous.
