Job Details

Mechanical Operations Manager

Engineering & Maintenance

Location: Highfield Campus

Salary:  £37,075 to £46,924

Full Time Permanent

Closing Date:  Tuesday 11 April 2017

Interview Date:  To be confirmed

Reference: 851317TD

The efficient maintenance of mechanical building services across this leading Russel Group University estate of some 450,000m2 internal floor area comprising high tech laboratories, engineering workshops, catering facilities, lecture theatres, staff facilities, halls of residences etc is key to its success.  This is delivered by a team of approximately 27 in house staff and many external contractors working under the guidance and support of the Mechanical Operations Manager.

We are looking for someone with excellent technical knowledge and experience of all areas of mechanical, controls and public health building services including some of the less common ones such as clean rooms, LEV systems and a substantial and award winning CHP and district heating system.

A key element of the role is the introduction of change that will deliver improved efficiency and quality of service with better auditability and ability to demonstrate statutory compliance. To this end the university has in recent years been introducing a computerised maintenance system (Planon), creating a need to develop and expand its use amongst all members of the team.

But perhaps the most important and challenging area of work will be to liaise with colleagues in academic and other departments, managing their expectations and meeting their needs whilst ensuring good collaborative relationships are built between them and the mechanical operations team members. This will require enthusiasm and a belief in what we are trying to achieve, honesty and credibility, vision and of course excellent communication skills. 

Application procedure:

You should submit your completed online application form at www.jobs.soton.ac.uk. The application deadline will be midnight on the closing date stated above. If you need any assistance, please call Hannah Swann (Recruitment Team) on +44 (0)23 8059 4046. Please quote reference 851317TD on all correspondence.
