You will also support the alignment of resources, promote continuous improvement, and help ensure projects deliver their intended benefits.

Alongside transformation initiatives, the portfolio also supports projects that ensure the university’s estate and infrastructure continue to meet operational needs and sustainability ambitions, including supporting long-term capacity and carbon reduction goals.
