Salary range: £33,309 - £40,927 per annum

FTE: 1 (35 hours per week)

Term: Open-ended

Closing date: 31 July 2022

 

The National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) is a bold and ambitious industry-centred project to create an international centre of advanced manufacturing expertise and excellence where industry, academia and public-sector support agencies work together to transform skills, productivity and innovation, making Scotland and the UK a global leader in advanced manufacturing.

NMIS is a truly collaborative project, with partners including the Scottish government, Scottish Enterprise, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, Skills Development Scotland, the Scottish Funding Council, Renfrewshire Council and the UK government through the High Value Manufacturing Catapult. The University of Strathclyde is the host University for NMIS, which will link to the wider academic communities in Scotland through the Scottish Research Partnership in Engineering and across the UK High Value Manufacturing Catapult network.

NMIS will encompass a dedicated facility that will house the Manufacturing Skills Academy (MSA), Digital Factory 2050 and the Innovation Collaboratory. Along with this dedicated new facility, existing and developing research centres will also be part of the broader NMIS Group including the Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC) and the Lightweight Manufacturing Centre (LMC).

The University of Strathclyde/NMIS are seeking to appoint a Facilities Manager to work within the Engineering Services Team for NMIS facilities.

 

Reporting to the Engineering Services Manager, an overarching aspect of the role is to manage the Total Facility Management (TFM) contract, liaising with site and departmental personnel in co-ordination of contractors to implement and deliver infrastructure improvement projects within the National Manufacturing Institute for Scotland (NMIS) temporary sites. The post holder will be based at NMIS temporary sites, located within Westway park, Renfrew. The post holder will on occasion travel between the multiple NMIS sites and the main University campus.

The post holder will be expected to provide project co-ordination of facility improvement and maintenance plans for the site(s), also support the implementation and planning for future sites, provide reports on requirements for future expansion and recommendations for solutions to site issues.

 

The role will require facilitation of staff and customer engagement activities, interpreting and conveying findings so that the needs of those who work across the multiple sites are recognised and built-in to any of the plans which go forward, the post holder will lead that facilitation.

 

The role will involve providing facilities management advice and support to the teams through analysis and judgement to identify the best solution to a range of different problems and issues, offering recommendations and solutions to the Engineering Services Manager in more complex situations.

 

Deploying facilities support staff and resources to ensure that planned improvements are delivered which enhance the facility in terms of its role in supporting and promoting high value manufacturing innovation in the UK.

 

The post holder will be charged with working within established departmental procedures and practices alongside the development of new and enhanced operational facility site management procedures as well as quality and health and safety procedures.

 

The role will involve leading, planning and execution of projects which address building improvement, dilapidation management, space constraints, relocation activities and other improvement needs in the facilities.
