Found in: beBee jobs CA - 2 weeks ago

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada University of Saskatchewan Full time
As a Facilities Strategic Business Advisor (SBA), we partner with colleges and units across campus to support strategic facilities initiatives focused on the University Plan to 2025 in being the university the world needs (nīkānītān manācihitowinihk; ni manachīhitoonaan).

Nature of Work

Our Facilities SBA team is part of the Administration portfolio, including Facilities, and Planning, Design and Construction, which includes Campus Planning and Real Estate, and Capital Projects.

The Facilities SBAs are assigned to support specific colleges and units to implement broader facilities, spaces, and places initiatives. Reporting to the Manager, Facilities Advisory Services, and under the direction of the Chief Operations and Finance Officer in the College of Arts and Science (and other senior leadership as required), the Facilities SBA provides effective integrated facilities strategies and leads initiatives that support the unique objectives and operational requirements of the assigned portfolio(s).

Relationships are at the heart of what we do and it is critical that we are comfortable and effective in working across multiple, diverse and at times, challenging stakeholder groups. From academics to administration, research to operations, we work with all groups in identifying, planning, and implementing facilities best practices to advance the mission of the university.

Primary responsibilities of the Facilities SBA role include influencing and implementing effective integrated facilities strategies and initiatives that support the unique academic and research objectives and operational requirements of the college/unit. The SBA assists leadership teams with various facilities, space, and project activities while maintaining a strong connection to Central Services and other SBAs on campus. The SBA supports the delivery of unit activities and processes while contributing to the strategic and operational planning and development of facilities services across the University.

The SBA addresses complex facilities matters, offering exceptional client service, often during periods of change, high work volumes, and stringent deadlines. The SBA facilitates and is responsible for ensuring the effective management and execution of facility strategies, frameworks, policies and procedures, and space auditing. In supporting various central services, the SBA exercises discretion and judgment in maintaining confidential information, and applies sound practices with a consistent, proactive and collaborative approach.
