Excellent opportunity for an Estates Manager, Facilities Manager or Site Manager to join a forward-thinking education environment where you will have the chance to modernise a large and evolving estate, lead sustainability and net zero projects, and leave a genuine long-term legacy on the site.

This organisation has ambitious long-term plans focused around creating a modern, sustainable and high-performing campus environment for both students and the wider community. Significant investment is being made into the future of the estate, with a strong focus on energy efficiency, carbon reduction, improved facilities and creating an environment that supports both education and community engagement. Alongside this, the organisation prides itself on offering staff excellent work-life balance, long-term stability and a collaborative working culture.

In this role you will take ownership of the estate, managing everything from compliance, maintenance and contractor management through to long-term capital projects and sustainability planning.
