Why this role exists

Hands-on labs are the core of how our students learn, and a lab is only as valuable as the systems running behind it. Equipment that isn't specified right, maintained well, or replenished on time quietly erodes the learning experience, one broken component or delayed class at a time.

This role exists to make sure that never happens. Across 40+ labs spread over multiple campuses, someone needs to own the operational backbone, from the very first equipment purchase through its ongoing upkeep, safety, and compliance,



as a designed system rather than a series of reactive fixes. That's this role.

What you will own

Initial & Capital Procurement Own the end-to-end process of setting up new labs and equipping existing ones: getting quotes from multiple vendors, evaluating them on quality and total cost of ownership (not just price), and taking equipment from purchase order through delivery, installation, and acceptance testing before it's signed off as ready for use.

Consumables & Replenishment Own the ongoing process for replenishing lab consumables and components on time, every time, so no session is ever blocked by a missing part. Build and maintain a reliable vendor base and reorder cadence.

Maintenance & Asset Management Design and run the preventive maintenance process for lab equipment across all campuses. Own asset tagging and lifecycle tracking for every piece of equipment, from the day it arrives to the day it'
