At Kirklees College we are always looking for new talent, and welcome applications from all sectors.
Whether in a teaching & learning role or in one of our specialised Business Support functions, you’ll be involved in nurturing and developing the next generation of construction workers, engineers, health workers and countless others.
We’re already a successful college, but we’re continually striving to be better and do better - be part of our story!
In the role of Project Manager – Capital Projects you’ll predominantly be based at Waterfront, Huddersfield and your focus will be on managing the successful delivery of the College's capital projects and estate improvement programmes, ensuring works are completed safely, compliantly, on time and within budget while enhancing the learner environment and estate performance.
Your key responsibilities will be managing the day-to-day delivery of capital projects, refurbishment programmes and estate improvement works across the College. The role coordinates project planning, procurement, contractors, consultants, budgets and programme performance to ensure projects are delivered safely, compliantly, on time and within budget. Working closely with stakeholders across the College, the postholder will help translate capital investment plans into successful project outcomes, ensuring works enhance the learner experience, improve estate performance, minimise operational disruption and deliver value for money.
Ideally, you’ll have relevant construction, engineering or project management qualification (or be able to prove equivalent ability) and demonstrable experience in delivering capital projects, refurbishment programmes or construction schemes within a complex operational environment. It’s important that you’re able to effectively manage projects, budgets, contractors and stakeholders, communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical audiences, and work collaboratively to deliver successful outcomes and demonstrate our College values of Kindness, Unity and Excellence in your role.
Due to the nature of our work, it’s essential you’re committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
We believe learning is not just for our students: it’s an important part of working here too. Staff development opportunities include a mentoring scheme, financial contributions for external qualifications and skills development for current and aspiring managers. You’ll also have access to a range of staff benefits including an employee assistance programme, retail and leisure discounts and reduced Metro travel.
We want people who believe in the value of education, and who can contribute to our culture of supporting and challenging one another.
