The Ministry of Education Schools Property Infrastructure Group manages the state school property portfolio which comprises approximately 2150 schools with a total replacement value of $14.5 billion. The group is responsible for delivering property services and functions to support New Zealand's education system, with an increased focus on effective asset and financial management and service delivery to boards of trustees which will enable them to provide property solutions that will best support education outcomes in schools.
These four new regional management positions (in Wellington, Christchurch, Auckland and Hamilton) are each responsible for the management and leadership of a regional property team and work programme. The nationwide and regional programmes focus on achieving the Government's objectives for a well managed, modern 21st-century school property portfolio. To support these objectives, the Regional Property Manager will need to represent the Crown's ownership interest in managing school property in the region, while responding to the changing requirements of schools.
To be successful in this role, you will need to have extensive experience in property or asset management in the private and/or public sector. Given the size of the property portfolio, the mix of stakeholders and the objectives of the work programme, you will need a proven track-record in developing and maintaining high performing teams focused on providing high levels of service and effective financial management.
This recruitment process is being managed by Robert Walters on behalf of the Ministry of Education.
