Bristol City Council’s Parks and Green Spaces Service manages one of Bristol's most important community assets, providing a vital citywide resource for recreation and leisure, health and wellbeing and access to nature and wildlife.
The service manages a diverse and nationally important green space estate across 2000 hectares including heritage estates, formal parks and gardens, cemeteries, allotments, trees and woodland and children and young people’s play facilities.
We now have a new opportunity within the Parks Service for an experienced Asset Manager to manage and properly maintain the assets and infrastructure used and enjoyed by our visitors across our estate.
The Asset Manager will allocate resources effectively to maintain a large-scale and diverse asset base which includes walls and railings, footpaths and roads, lakes, weirs, bridges, memorials and ancient monuments, play areas, ball courts and bike tracks.
The Asset Manager will have considerable autonomy to shape and deliver a risk and cost-based approach to managing an asset base of considerable scale.
This will involve managing a team to instruct condition reports and inspections, commission works, allocate funds and develop a business case for ongoing resources that will ensure we pass on our assets in good condition for future generations.
