The University of Southampton is a leading research-intensive University, a founding member of the prestigious Russell Group, and one of the top 100 universities worldwide. We deliver excellent educational experience and world-leading research, and we are known for successfully commercialising our research through enterprise. 

The University has a diverse estate, property and land portfolio spanning several campuses, including the main Highfield campus, the City Centre Campus, Avenue Campus, the Boldrewood Innovation Campus, and the Winchester School of Art. The Estates & Facilities team ensure that the University has a built and physical environment that supports the activities of a world-class University, across a portfolio of academic, state of the art research, clinical, enterprise, workspace, residential, social amenity, sport and community facilities.  Ambitious plans are afoot with an estates masterplan that will see £1bn of investment in enhancing and delivering a sustainable, inclusive estate over the next decade.

The Senior CAFM Manager is responsible for the management of an integrated CAFM system, leading a team working across the Estate and Facilities Department in areas including maintenance and engineering, space management, minor works and capital projects.   The role will lead on managing and optimising the University’s CAFM system, integrating all digital assets information relating to the estate, estate investment and estates and facilities activities, playing a key role in ensuring accurate reporting and increased performance and value for money.

The successful candidate will have demonstrable experience of managing CAFM systems in an estates and facilities setting, either in a client side or contractor/supplier side role.  You will have good communication skills, a positive and inclusive approach to leadership and will demonstrate a genuine passion for delivering an outstanding estates environment for the University.
