Associate Director of Infrastructure Projects
The University of Southampton is seeking to appoint an Associate Director of Infrastructure Projects. This role offers a competitive salary and excellent benefits. As a leading research-intensive University and a founding member of the prestigious Russell Group, we are known for delivering an excellent educational experience and world-leading research, as well as successfully commercialising our research through enterprise.
The Estates & Facilities team ensures that the University has a built and physical environment that supports the activities of a world-class University, across a diverse portfolio of academic, research, clinical, enterprise, workspace, residential, social amenity, sport, and community facilities. Ambitious plans are underway with an estates masterplan that will see £1bn of investment in enhancing and delivering a sustainable, inclusive estate over the next decade.
Reporting to the Director of Estates Development, the Associate Director of Infrastructure Projects will lead the planning and delivery of Faculty and Infrastructure projects and programmes, ensuring that the University benefits from a world-class estate portfolio to support its institutional purpose and vision. Projects include refurbishment, fit-out, retrofit, strategic maintenance, compliance, and sustainability projects, delivered within a highly congested and busy operational environment where the quality of student and staff experience throughout the works is crucial.
The successful candidate will demonstrate a proven track record of leading programmes of refurbishment and infrastructure improvement across a live, operational, multi-building estate portfolio. You will possess strong communication skills, a positive and inclusive approach to leadership, and a genuine passion for delivering an outstanding estates environment for the University.
