About the Team

You will join the Estates Engineering team within Estates, Facilities and Capital Development (EFCD), supporting the safe, compliant and efficient operation of the University estate.

The team works closely with colleagues across EFCD, the Helpdesk, timetabling teams and specialist contractors to deliver planned maintenance, respond to reactive issues and coordinate disruptive works with minimal impact on teaching, research and day-to-day operations.

This is a busy, collaborative environment where clear communication, strong coordination and effective administrative control directly improve service delivery and customer experience. The role offers excellent exposure to estates engineering operations, compliance management, performance reporting, customer service excellence and continuous improvement activity.

About the Role

As Technical Engineering Co-ordinator, you will provide day-to-day technical and administrative support to help the Engineering team operate efficiently. Acting as a key link between the EFCD Helpdesk, engineers and contractors, you will ensure information is accurate, timely and customer-focused.

• Maintaining statutory compliance records and service certificates within the CAFM system
• Supporting administrative processes in Compass (Water Quality Management)
• Raising purchase orders and supporting financial processes
• Producing monthly energy and utilities reports
• Supporting training and competency record management
• Scheduling contractor performance meetings and tracking actions

This is a permanent, full-time role working 35 hours per week, based across University sites as required.

About You
