Operations Manager - University of Canterbury

Great facilities run on more than good intentions alone. Behind every positive experience are thoughtful systems, clear standards and people who make a complex operation feel straightforward.

As Operations Manager for Takurua, you will help build the operational engine behind the University of Canterbury’s new sport, recreation and wellbeing facility.

You will shape the systems, processes and service standards needed to operate a large, busy and highly visible facility. Your remit will include customer service, bookings, technology, contractor relationships, facility services, safety and the practical coordination required to ensure Takurua is ready from the day its doors open.

You will also lead customer-focused teams and use data and feedback to understand what is working, where issues are emerging and how the experience can continue to improve.

This is an opportunity for an operational leader who enjoys creating order, solving problems and turning ambitious plans into reliable everyday delivery. If you take satisfaction from making things work – and work well – Takurua offers a hugely rewarding challenge.
