**Āu Mahi | What You Will Do**
The role of the Technical Services Manager is to provide professional management of the provision of all technical services for the Department of Civil and Natural Resources Engineering, including the management of technical staff, buildings, laboratories, equipment, finances, health and safety and compliance, risk and hazard management, that are associated with the day-to-day running of the department, and in order to meet the strategic needs of the department.

Our Civil and Natural Resources Engineering Department is ranked 8th in the world by the Academic Ranking of World Universities, and this is significantly due to the work performed in our technical Laboratories. Our research has directly improved NZ standards.

You will be leading a group of more than 20 technical staff who are highly skilled in their fields and overseeing the management of more than eight laboratories and research facilities. These support the teaching, running of experiments, manufacture of devices, instruction, and work closely with academic staff, postdocs and students within the department.

The department has ~900 student EFTs (Full time equivalent students) and an annual budget of $32m. You will join this team, and our national and international collaborators, to further enhance the department's laboratories capability and impact.

With laboratory testing planned and executed smoothly and efficiently, you will ensure a balance that meets the needs of various stakeholders as effectively as possible. Overall, you will help ensure the laboratory operates smoothly due to effective, efficient, and appropriate support systems being established and developed as needed and ensure health and safety is maintained.

You will provide technical strategic advice as part of the Department Management Team and ensure that the laboratories are resourced and operate within budget.

**Mōu | Who You Are**
You are a strong leader with demonstrated skills in managing people and projects. You will have the ability to strategically analyse situations and work collaboratively to identity areas of improvement and implement change - both incremental and significant.

You are a people person who enjoys engaging with stakeholders (academics, technical staff, external clients, testing experts and students). In addition, you will be a successful, collaborative, problem solver with technical skills and experience.

You will also have:

- A Bachelor's Degree (NZQA Level 7) or higher-level qualification, in BEngTech or BE (Hons), or equivalent knowledge.
- Advanced knowledge (5+ years of relevant experience, or higher-level qualification) in managing and leading a team within engineering. This involves managing staff, finances, project management, facilities, health and safety, wellbeing, risk and compliance management.
- Preferable experience and understanding of engineering laboratory work.
- Demonstrated understanding of the engineering research environment and of technical experimental design.
- Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to build and sustain strong working relationships.
- Experience and understanding of the tertiary education environment desirable but not essential.
- Competence in MS suite and database programs.
