Head of Maintenance (EF5191)

The University of Lincoln is a high achieving centre of academic excellence which has been recognised nationally and internationally. It is an ambitious, fast-paced dynamic organisation with multiple stakeholders which strives always to improve the student and staff experience and engagement with the wider Lincoln community.

In May 2018, the University of Lincoln rose to its highest ever position in The Guardian University Guide rising 25 places to 22nd in the national league table, driven by its success in student satisfaction and an impressive student continuation rate.  Consequently, the University has been extremely successful in recruiting students to the University and the University continues to outperform the sector in this area.  By 2022/23 – there will be in excess of 17,000 students and staff living and working across three sites in Lincoln City Centre, Riseholme and in Holbeach.

The Estates Department comprises a high performing team of estate professionals that continues to manage and develop a high quality estate. The University has an ongoing commitment to invest in its Estate through a capital plan which entails the completion of a number of multi-million pound projects both new build and refurbishment together with a host of minor capital and revenue projects.  The Maintenance function is well established with significant growth planned in staff numbers to support both recent and planned growth – not least the addition of a Medical School and c.3,000 new bed  spaces.

An opportunity has arisen for a Head of Maintenance to lead & manage the Maintenance Team within the Estates Department ensuring that service standards are delivered in a consistent manner across the estate and that maintenance activity within the estate continues to feed positively into the overall student experience.
