Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a prestigious, award-winning institution that recently received the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Higher and Further Education—the nation’s highest honor for education—presented by Their Majesties The King and Queen. As a leading civic university, we are ranked 2nd in the UK for career prospects and are consistently recognized for our gold-standard student outcomes. Rooted in the heart of the Liverpool City Region with a history dating back to 1823, LJMU combines world-class research with a deep commitment to transforming lives and supporting the communities we serve.

The School of Engineering and Built Environment within the Faculty of Health, Innovation, Technology and Science seeks to appoint a Lecturer or Teaching Fellow in Construction Technology & Services.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an enthusiastic team and play a pivotal role in delivering our accredited programmes across the full spectrum of property. You will join a supportive and ambitious Property and Built Environment team where your contribution will be highly valued and multidisciplinary, extending beyond core Building Surveying to support our BSc (Hons) Real Estate, Architectural Technology, and Housing programmes, alongside our postgraduate MSc offerings.

We are particularly interested in candidates with strong practical expertise in building pathology, construction technology (both commercial and residential), sustainable retrofit, and the integration of building services. You will step into key module leadership roles, providing vital cross-disciplinary support to alleviate current faculty workloads in foundational technology, architectural principles, property development, and housing management.

You will: 

• Take on the leadership and delivery of core modules, specifically focusing on Pathology and Inspection and advanced Construction Technology.
• Lead or co-lead Sustainable Buildings modules, guiding students through energy assessments, BREEAM/SAP principles, and sustainable retrofit strategies.
• Act as a support tutor for foundational modules and provide teaching support in Property Development, Real Estate, and Housing.
• Supervise undergraduate research projects and postgraduate MSc dissertations across a wide variety of built environment topics.
• Act as a Personal Tutor, providing academic and pastoral support to enhance the student experience and career planning.
• Engage with Industrial Liaison Panels and organize professional body guest speakers and site visits.

You will hold a degree in Building Surveying, Building Services Engineering, Real Estate, Architectural Technology, or Housing Studies. Professional accreditation is essential, and you should be a Chartered Member of a relevant body such as RICS, CABE, CIOB, CIBSE, or CIH. You will demonstrate extensive practical experience across the property lifecycle, including diagnosing building defects, structural appraisal, and the management of complex building services.

LJMU has created a new career pathway structure for academic staff, ensuring parity and recognition whether your strengths lie in research, scholarship, teaching innovation, leadership, or professional engagement. Applicants should apply against the Job Description that best reflects their strengths and expertise; on appointment, the pathway will be confirmed in line with experience.

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do.

If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you.
