We have an exciting opportunity for a Building & Property Data Manager to join our growing Space & Asset Management Team at Reading.
Why this role stands out
This is a pivotal leadership role at the heart of the University’s Estates function, offering the opportunity to shape how building and property data is managed, integrated, and used to drive strategic decision-making.

- Oversee the upkeep of the University’s technical drawings, managing internal and external CAD resources.
- Manage the interface between CAFM, AutoCAD, ArcGIS, and Power BI, ensuring seamless data integration and reporting.
About you
You will have:
- Proven experience in managing building and property data within a complex organisation.
- Strong technical knowledge of platforms like AutoCAD, ArcGIS, and Power BI together with an understanding of how they integrate with CAFM systems.
- Excellent stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate across diverse groups.
