Job description

The opportunity

University of the Arts London (UAL) is seeking to appoint a Project Manager (AutoCAD) within the Estates Development team. Now is an exciting time to be joining UAL to take up this role. A 10-year Estates Strategy has been developed which will see the delivery of new campuses for London College of Fashion (completed in 2024) and London College of Communication (to be completed in 2027) as well as a period of estate transformation across our existing portfolio that ensures the UAL estate is fit for purpose, sustainable and provides world-class facilities and experience to our students, staff and partners. Following the appointment of new Associate Directors in the areas of Estate Development and Facilities Management in 2024, we are now embarking on an investment in the team that will see the appointment to c.25 new roles in these areas.

UAL's capital programme to 2030 represents over £100m of planned investment, delivering a series of major projects aligned to the University's Size and Shape strategy, Net Zero commitments, and long-term operational sustainability. This includes a pipeline of estate transformation and academic growth schemes across the Colleges, alongside a targeted Scope 1 and 2 decarbonisation programme. In parallel, UAL will continue to deliver an annual Long-Term Maintenance programme of circa £9m to preserve and enhance the condition, compliance and resilience of the estate.

Reporting to the Head of Space Management, the Project Manager AutoCAD will play a key role in maintaining and developing accurate CAD records and space management information, ensuring accurate and accessible data across the UAL estate portfolio. Your responsibilities will include conducting measured surveys, producing technical drawings, managing external consultants, and overseeing minor works projects.

About you

We are seeking a candidate with technical expertise in CAD and estates information systems, preferably across a diverse building portfolio. You will be confident in managing data, coordinating compliance documentation, and supporting project delivery. It is essential that you have excellent attention to detail, good communication skills and a collaborative approach, along with a commitment to inclusive and accessible design.

The role offers a fantastic career opportunity to contribute to the future of a world-renowned university and arts organisation, supporting the transformation of its extraordinary London estate.
