Job profile for Technical Operations Manager (SeaCURE)
Technical Operations Manager (SeaCURE)
Date posted: 24/12/2024
Job reference: Q01364
Job description
INTERNAL APPLICANTS ONLY
Technical Operations Manager (SeaCURE)
Technical Strategy & Operations
This new full-time post is available from 6th January 2025 on a fixed term basis until 28th March 2025.
Summary of the role:
This new role will be based at our SeaCURE Facility located at the Weymouth SeaLife Centre and is offered as a secondment. This exciting new facility is the world’s first Carbon Dioxide Removal plant to take CO2 from seawater and purify it to the point where it could be stored geologically. The project is a joint partnership involving Brunel University London, Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Eliquo Hydrok and University of Exeter. The role will be supervising the facility, ensuring maximum equipment uptime, troubleshooting routine concerns and building on the technical aspects of the project.
You will have experience in facilities maintenance and laboratory management and will be responsible for the smooth running of the equipment. You will work mostly on your own, opening the facility up in the morning, dealing with any issues, monitoring experimental runs and then closing down at the end of the day, but in close communication with and with regular visits from the wider SeaCURE team. The role will therefore need a high degree of autonomy and confidence. A chemistry background would be beneficial.
Initially we are offering this post for a limited time as a secondment opportunity (three to five months) but there is the possibility of further funding depending on the success of the project.
Please note that this role will be based in Weymouth and will be on site Monday to Friday.
Organisational context:
The Research Services Division is a key enabler to the delivery of the University’s Strategy 2030, the Research and Impact Strategy, successful REF performances, and meeting research income targets.
This role is within the Technical Strategy & Operations part of the Division. We are research and teaching technical staff across the entirety of the University of Exeter. We work in specialist areas across the University and beyond, undertaking and supporting research and teaching and promoting compliance and best practice, in the labs, studios, workshops, and field.
Benefits:
* 41 days leave per year
* options for flexible working
* numerous discounts at leading retailers
* onsite gyms on all of our campuses and a cycle to work scheme
* sector leading policies around maternity, adoption and shared parental leave (up to 26 weeks full pay), paternity leave (up to 6 weeks full pay) and a Fertility Treatment Policy
* stunning campus environments in Exeter and Cornwall, in the beautiful South West of England
