Facilities Manager - Property Services

2202001

**PROPERTY SERVICES DIVISION**

**_About our team / Mō te tīma_**

When staff, students, and the public step onto our campuses, they experience a range of learning and research environments, including classrooms, world leading laboratories and libraries. They also admire the historic Clocktower Building, enjoy our extensive art collection, stroll the grounds, and buy refreshments.

The dedicated efforts of Property Services Division employees shape these experiences. We're the physical foundation of the teaching, research, learning and social interaction that takes place at the University, and we're proud of the important role we play.

The Division is responsible for buildings with a replacement cost of NZ$2.5 billion, and more than 22,000 hectares of land. With over 3,500 University Staff and 20,000 students, it's a bit like helping to run a small town.

**_The role / Te mahi_**

With an impending retirement and internal promotion, the University of Otago has a rare opportunity for a Facilities Manager to join the team and work to ensure there is a safe and positive working environment throughout our owned and leased buildings, with the very highest standards being maintained at all times.

The Facilities Manager works as a key member of the wider Property Services team and will be responsible for the following:

- Being the key Property Operations point of contact for Head(s) of your client portfolio.
- Proactively partner with your portfolio to fully understand their business needs, and current and future requirements regarding the built environment.
- Anticipate and be responsive to their needs and issues across a diverse range of facilities.
- Develop Project Assessments to enable works progression, incorporating clear and concise stakeholder engagement.
- Be a Project Owner from inception to delivery (working collaboratively with our Project Managers and other key stakeholders).
- Make sure that daily work requests are promptly triaged, scoped and completed to the satisfaction of the Client.
- Ensuring that the University buildings are maintained at an optimum level, and within the confines of budgetary expectations.
- Ensuring that all works carried out meet the University’s quality and design standards.

**_Your skills and experience / Kā pūkeka me kā wheako_**

The successful applicant will ideally have:

- Appropriate Building, Operations, Facilities Management or Building Services Qualification, or experience (direct or transferable) in Operations, Project, Construction or Facilities Management with a strong client focus.
- Knowledge of building construction and costs.
- An understanding of the Building Act and the Health and Safety Act.
- Capable of understanding the design requirements of specialised areas such as laboratories.
- A high degree of computer literacy.
- Strong organisational and planning skills.

You will be one of six Facilities Managers based within our Dunedin Campus, and you will work collaboratively alongside an array of Property Professionals such as Asset Managers, Property Managers, Compliance Officers, Architectural Technicians and our dedicated Trade Services Team.
