Do you have experience managing a physics laboratory, maker space, or similar technical environment? Are you skilled in coordinating resources, optimising space organisation, developing robust safety protocols, and preparing specialised equipment for exciting fieldwork? Would you like to further develop your expertise in a dynamic, friendly, and supportive environment? If so, we would love to hear from you!
The National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) is a world leading research centre, dedicated to the advancement of atmospheric science. Our research revolves around four key areas: air pollution, climate and global change, weather science, and digital atmosphere. We also provide the UK with vital services and facilities for observing and modelling the atmosphere. These include the FAAM Airborne Laboratory (operating a highly modified BAE 146 aircraft), the Atmospheric Measurement and Observation Facility (advanced ground-based observational systems such as radars), computer modelling and support, and facilities for storing and analysing data. We play a significant and influential role in many international science programmes and provide advice, leadership, training and national capability in atmospheric science.
NCAS is supported by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and has over 250 members of staff embedded across UK universities and research institutes.
The NCAS Atmospheric Workshop at the University of Leeds is a vibrant and innovative maker space supporting internal and external research groups in developing and deploying cutting-edge atmospheric instrumentation for global field campaigns. We seek a motivated Workshop Manager who shares our passion and commitment, ready to take on the exciting challenge of managing this facility and ensuring the safety and effectiveness of its users.
As Workshop Manager, you will be integral to our active and collaborative atmospheric science community. You will shape the evolution of our workshop into a world-class facility dedicated to technological innovation and deployment. Your role will encompass varied and engaging technical and educational projects, collaborating closely with outstanding colleagues across the organisation. We seek someone friendly, adaptable, and diplomatic, with the initiative to work independently and within diverse teams. To enable this, we also seek someone who can be physically present within the workshop or NCAS offices in Leeds a majority of the time. The role may also afford the opportunity to travel for fieldwork to places as near as the Leeds Farm or as far away as Antarctica.
This role will be based on the university campus, with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.
Please note that this post may be suitable for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker visa route but first-time applicants might need to qualify for salary concessions. For more information please visit: www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa.
What we offer in return
• 26 days holiday plus approx.16 Bank Holidays/days that the University is closed by custom (including Christmas) – that’s 42 days a year!
• Generous pension scheme plus life assurance – the University contributes 14.5% of salary.
• Health and Wellbeing: Discounted staff membership options at The Edge, our state-of-the-art Campus gym, with a pool, sauna, climbing wall, cycle circuit, and sports halls.
• Personal Development: Access to courses run by our Organisational Development & Professional Learning team.
• Access to on-site childcare, shopping discounts and travel schemes are also available.
And much more!
