Director of Estates and Facilities

The University of Salford’s progressive approach has powered our success for 125 years. Our University is primed for growth and today our community encompasses over 26,000 students and 2,800 staff from all around the world. We are bolstered by industry initiatives and innovative research programmes, building a thriving university at the heart of a powerful and connected region.

This is reflected in our bold vision for our Estate. We are creating a transformative and dynamic environment that will seamlessly integrate academic excellence, innovation, sustainability, and inclusivity. Our Campus Connectivity Plan aspires to create a vibrant and inspiring hub for learning, research, and community engagement, fostering a holistic educational experience for all. Sustainability lies at the heart of this vision and of course it extends beyond physical infrastructure, emphasising the integration of technology to create a digitally connected campus. This in turn will be the keystone of the wider Crescent Salford Masterplan.

A world class campus deserves a world class estates function and your remit will be to create one predicated on the best principles of operational excellence and customer service. Reporting to the Chief Infrastructure Officer, your leadership will be instrumental in driving our commitment to sustainability, enhancing operational efficiency and delivering on our ambitious agenda.

You will have a proven track record of estates management in terms of planning, operations and rationalisation, implementing successful performance management and building effective and engaged teams. Key to your success will be your leadership qualities combined with the ability to innovate and manage change.
