About the role
The University of Sussex is seeking to make an appointment to the role of Head of Strategic Property Management. The postholder will lead on the effective and strategic management of our buildings and assets and play a pivotal role in developing an Estates Framework (ESF) to guide decisions about our estate.
The postholder will be responsible for transforming our approach to our assets & general Estate so that we can: make better use of what we already have; operate efficiently and effectively; and make well-informed decisions based on robust asset information. The postholder will play a pivotal role in ensuring the continued and whole life value that our assets provide to the organisation; managing risk around compliance, health & safety and business continuity; supporting our net zero ambition; ensuring that we control and optimise the operating costs of running a complex and ageing campus.
The postholder will work with our FM Partner to improve our data maturity and will co-create a multi-year long term maintenance programme founded on good asset information. They will advise the FM Partner on the delivery of Maintenance and other relevant service lines by providing strategic insight into our assets and how they support our strategic goals. The postholder will play a pivotal role in improving our space efficiency by implementing new space principles and through line management of the Space Management team. They will provide key insights into our master planning process as we establish the basis for the ESF and build towards an estates masterplan to support our new 2035 vision.
