Head of Facilities Operations – Temple Quarter Campus

Temple Quarter is the location of the new University of Bristol campus. This position is a once-in-a-career opportunity to mobilise operations within that campus.

Containing multiple buildings at various stages of construction, including the University’s flagship new building on Cattle Market Road, the campus is due to go fully ‘live’ in 2026.

Acting as the interface between construction & project management teams, Campus Operations staff, project boards and occupiers, the Head of Temple Quarter Operations will ensure that services are ready from day one, and expectations are met in relation to operation, maintenance and user experience of the campus.

Leading the ‘operationalisation’ of the new Temple Quarter campus. This will involve everything from writing new policies and procedures, to reviewing room data sheets and agreeing service levels. Ensuring operational teams have the information they require (including O&M’s, maintenance schedules and handover information), and building users understand their new campus, will be key requirements of the role.

You have extensive facilities management experience and feel as comfortable writing reports for boards as you do influencing and persuading senior stakeholders. You should have the experience to understand the strategic outcomes required whilst delivering detailed operational requirements.

You will be a completer-finisher with high standards and an eye for detail. You are a problem-solver with the interpersonal skills to work effectively across different stakeholder groups with competing demands. The role requires a candidate who can demonstrate pro-activity, resilience, self-confidence and credibility across a range of FM-related subjects.

Extensive experience of managing projects in large organisations and the ability to hit the ground running are key requirements of the role.

For informal queries about the role, please contact Jordan Barratt, Executive Assistant to Director of Campus Operations ([email protected] )

This advert will close at23:59 GMTon Sunday 19th May.

We recently launched our strategy  to 2030 tying together our mission, vision and values.

The University of Bristol aims to be a place where everyone feels able to be themselves and do their best in an inclusive working environment where all colleagues can thrive and reach their full potential. We want to attract, develop, and retain individuals with different experiences, backgrounds and perspectives – particularly people of colour, LGBT+ and disabled people - because diversity of people and ideas remains integral to our excellence as a global civic institution.
