Job description

Regional Technical Asset Manager (Building Surveyor)

UPP, the UK’s leading provider of on-campus residential accommodation infrastructure, is seeking to recruit a Regional Technical Asset Manager.

UPP operates over 35,000 rooms in partnership with 15 world‑leading universities across the UK, and has invested over £3.5bn over the last three decades in sustainable student accommodation that meets Passivhaus, BREEAM and WELL standards.

Reporting to the Head of Technical Asset Management within UPP’s Asset Management Division, this role will lead asset management at seven university campuses across the Midlands and North of England. Responsibilities include planning and delivering life‑cycle and asset replacement programmes, delivering refurbishment, modernisation and sustainability projects, and supporting defect management. You will lead intelligent asset management planning, including condition analysis, data gathering, trend analysis and options appraisal to inform long‑ and short‑term investment strategies.

We are seeking an individual with experience of building surveying activities, including whole‑life costing, condition analysis and asset replacement planning and delivery, together with the technical and commercial understanding of project management of strategic maintenance and refurbishment projects and programmes. Experience of working on a portfolio with comparable characteristics to UPP would be particularly advantageous.

The role requires excellent communication skills, a ‘can‑do’ attitude and the ability to lead a team, manage multi‑disciplinary consultants and work with stakeholders across the business.

The role attracts a competitive salary commensurate with this level, together with a generous performance bonus. UPP offers a comprehensive benefits package including 29 days holiday plus bank holidays, private healthcare, pension, enhanced family leave policy, life assurance, training, two paid volunteering or personal development days and a cycle‑to‑work scheme. Regular travel to university locations across Nottingham, Loughborough, Leeds, Hull, York and Lancaster is expected, with a hybrid working pattern that supports working from home.

For a confidential discussion please contact Nick Coppard (nicholas.coppard@mrgpeople.co.uk) or Kelley Brown (Kelley.brown@mrgglobal.com) at The Management Recruitment Group (MRG) on 0203 962 9900. Applications should consist of a CV and covering letter and should be sent to nicholas.coppard@mrgpeople.co.uk.

All direct and third‑party applications will be forwarded to MRG.

UPP welcomes all applications and recognises the value of having a diverse and inclusive culture, which reflects the communities they work with and positively impacts students, residents, and university partners.
