FTE: 1

Term: Open-ended

Closing Date: 18 February 2025

Location: NMIS, Renfrew

The Centre and Industrial Engagement Manager will manage the overall day-to-day running of the ReMake Value Retention Centre (RVRC), a major investment towards accelerating UK’s green economy agenda led by the University of Strathclyde in collaboration with the Universities of Exeter and Sheffield.

The “ReMake” Value Retention Centre (RVRC) will take a transdisciplinary, systems-level approach focussing on high-integrity sectors. It will:

• Address “ReMake” (remanufacture, refurbishment, repair, reformatting, reuse) technical challenges via innovation in circular design, remanufacturing and inspection.
• Enable increased ReMake adoption, with traceability, standards and policy.
• Embed culture change via an understanding of risk and uncertainty and new Remake business models.
• Address significant skills challenges by developing the future ReMake workforce, from apprentices to executives, across the supply chain.
• Leverage existing ecosystems and build new ones to accelerate commercialisation and investment in ReMake high-integrity applications.

You will be responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of this cross-institutional strategic Centre including project and financial management, working closely with the Centre Director and Project Co-leads to support and shape delivery of the Centre and identify new opportunities. You will oversee the Centre’s extensive programme of external engagement with industry, government, policy organisations and academia, facilitating an ongoing dialogue with project partners around their technical and business challenges and identifying opportunities for knowledge exchange and translation of the Centre’s research. The position requires excellent project and relationship management experience and offers extensive industry-facing networking opportunities, and an opportunity to support an ambitious and transformative programme of cross-disciplinary research and commercialisation activities contributing to the development of the circular economy.
