Sustaining university infrastructure in Cornwall.
We’re looking for a dynamic Engineering Maintenance Manager to lead and develop our engineering maintenance function across two vibrant university campuses. This is a fantastic opportunity to join the leadership team within the Infrastructure Directorate and make a direct, lasting impact on our estate's performance, safety, and sustainability.
What you'll be doing
You’ll oversee all Estates mechanical and electrical maintenance operations, ensuring our engineering systems are fully compliant, safe, and fit for purpose. Your expertise will guide both planned and reactive maintenance, statutory compliance checks, estate improvements, and contractor performance. You’ll lead a highly capable team that includes in-house technical specialists, supervisors, tradespeople and external specialists; working closely with the wider Estates Team to deliver a seamless and effective service across the campus.
This is a varied, hands-on leadership role where no two days are the same. It’s also a chance to grow with us – we’re expanding our department to better support our academic partners, and you’ll have the autonomy and support to shape the future of engineering services at the university.
