**About this role | Mō tēnei tūranga**:

Your key priorities will include:

- Leading and managing a regionally based team who are responsible for providing infrastructure asset management advice and support to schools
- Developing and maintaining strong and constructive working relationships with schools, their property professionals and other Ministry teams at a local and national level
- Issues resolution
- School portfolio planning and implementation activities within the allocated geographic area
- Managing a small case load of schools (generally for schools with more complex property issues or that are of strategic interest), and act as the primary relationship manager for these schools on all matters related to property management

The School Property group manages one of the largest property portfolios in Aotearoa New Zealand, composed of over 2,100 primary and secondary state schools and over 8,000 hectares of land with a carrying value of $33.5 billion. Our team is responsible for the portfolio, including school engagement, asset management, capital works delivery, investment planning and portfolio management.

We have a responsibility to invest in property solutions that demonstrate value for money while still delivering the right outcome for our schools and kura. Demand for new or improved school property across the country is high, and the way we meet these needs is to do so more efficiently. We have set financial and timeliness targets for our programme, and we’re looking to improve our planning and delivery, as well as working proactively and collaboratively with schools and the construction sector. This will ensure that our property projects deliver value and are part of an affordable and deliverable programme of works.

As part of the response to the Government’s decisions following the independent Ministerial Inquiry into School Property, the School Property group is now led by a Functional Chief Executive (FCE) for School Property, who reports directly to the Minister for Education. We also have put in place an improvement programme which responds to the Government's school property review recommendations.
