University College London (UCL) is a globally recognised Institution and one the UK’s most successful Universities.  UCL’s estate is unique, rich in history, at the heart of London and diverse in use. Our 230 buildings are predominately located in Bloomsbury but with a number of specialist satellite sites beyond that. UCL Estates are excited to be playing a key role in the delivery of UCL’s 20-year strategy, UCL2034, including the realisation of UCL East, our new campus at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, which will offer world class research, teaching and living accommodation within the largest cultural and educational development in Europe.

UCL is in the midst of a programme to invest £1.25 billion to refurbish and develop some of our most iconic buildings whilst also bringing forward new world class buildings to ensure that the UCL Estate directly contributes to the creation of a truly inspirational environment for our academics, students and staff.  Having recently made several key senior appointments we now seek to recruit an Assistant Director Capital Projects to play a key leadership role within the team.

Excellent interpersonal, communication and leadership skills are essential as you will inspire and manage an in-house capital projects team whilst engaging with and gained the confidence of a broad range of internal and external stakeholder groups.

The role attracts a competitive salary and excellent benefits including 41 days annual leave (inclusive of public holidays and closure days), a generous pension scheme, personal and professional development support and health and wellbeing benefits.  Further information on the details of the benefits of working at UCL can be found at http://ucl.ac.uk/hr/benefits/employee_benefits.php.
