**Queens University Belfast: A Leading Research-Driven University**
Founded in 1845, Queens University Belfast is a broadly-based research-driven institution ranked among the top 200 globally for impact and sustainability.
A member of the Russell Group, QUB boasts a dynamic world-class research and education portfolio with strong international connections.
As a campus university nestled in the heart of Belfast City, it plays a pivotal role in shaping the city's culture, arts, and social scenes.
The university's significant contributions to the economy in Northern Ireland and the UK are estimated to be over €3 billion annually.
This marks an exciting time to join the Queens community as the University Strategy 2030 sets out to Shape A Better World through life-changing education and research.
To achieve this vision, the university aims to re-imagine its campus, aligning with its Net Zero Plan. This will require innovative infrastructure design and construction.
As part of this ambition, Queens is seeking to appoint a Director of Estates to lead the re-design of the campus, supporting a new paradigm for higher education.
The successful candidate will report directly to the Vice-President and Chief Finance and Resources Officer, driving exceptional service to enhance the student and academic experience.
They will also reinforce the university's centrality to the city and its communities, ensuring that the estate serves as a fundamental enabler for achieving the university's ambitions.
The ideal candidate will have substantial senior leadership experience across multiple areas relevant to the portfolio, combined with a proven ability to drive improvement in complex environments.
A commercial outlook, intellectual acuity, and emotional intelligence will be essential in engaging effectively with internal and external stakeholders in a progressive academic environment.
