An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced capital or estates professional to join a respected educational institution and play a key role in shaping its future estate. This is a fantastic chance to join a stable, forward‑thinking organisation that is investing in its facilities, infrastructure, and long‑term sustainability.

This is a role offering genuine variety and influence - managing a broad range of capital and construction projects, from modernisation works and refurbishments to major new developments. You'll be joining a supportive and collaborative Estates and Capital team with clear direction, autonomy, and long‑term opportunities for progression.

With a busy and ambitious capital programme underway, 2025 and beyond will see significant estate improvements across teaching, IT, and specialist learning spaces. This position offers the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the student and staff experience, while delivering projects that demonstrate best value, sustainability, and design quality.

Reporting to the Head of Estates and Capital, you'll manage multiple capital projects through all stages - from feasibility and design to delivery and completion - ensuring that projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and to the highest standards.
