  • Job Description

      Req#: 12752
      Under the direction of the Dean, Community Engagement and Careers, the Campus Administrator is responsible for supervising daily operations in the Kelowna office and coordinates a wide range of administrative functions required by the academic and service departments. The primary goal is to facilitate collaboration amongst all departments to ensure that campus activities – teaching and learning, direct student services, maintenance and administrative operations, and events – are carried out to greatest effectiveness for all campus functions.

      A key responsibility is to ensure the campus operations run effectively and efficiently which requires frequent communication and collaboration with departments (on and off campus) and creating a productive and collaborative team environment with employees who report to different supervisors. Developing strong relationships with Deans, Director and Managers to facilitate the activities at the campus is central to this position.

      This position acts as the Campus’ main point of contact in the Region and collaborates with other college administrators in developing and maintaining community relationships with municipal/regional governments, educational, economic, social services, employer and industry, and Indigenous organizations. The Campus Administrator is involved in community initiatives, identifies local community information and educational needs, acts as a liaison between the community and the College, and represents the Campus at community events.

      The Campus Administrator is responsible for managing all campus events and organizes campus working groups to guide these events. The position facilitates Campus-specific information sharing with administrative staff, faculty, instructors, internal departments, and external agencies, and therefore requires a broad understanding of all departments, educational programs, and operational requirements to coordinate daily campus operations, respond to emergency situations, and triage and problem-solve day-to-day Campus issues.

      The Campus Administrator monitors Campus services and recommends improvements to operational procedures to support effective and efficient services with a focus on continuous improvement and operationalization of College policies and procedures. This position is responsible for the financial management of the assigned operational and project budgets and appropriate handling of campus receivable payments.
