About the role

The role leads the campus support workforce: housekeeping, maintenance and gardening staff, and outsourced service providers.

· **Security:** Oversee the security agency, gate and visitor control, CCTV and key control. Support safe arrival and dispersal with the transport team.

· **Emergencies:** Keep the campus ready for fire, medical, utility and security emergencies. Run drills and act as ground coordinator during incidents under the Principal’s lead.

· **Stores and procurement:** Maintain asset and inventory registers, compare vendor proposals on quality and total cost, inspect deliveries, and manage lawful scrap disposal.

· **Vendors:** Manage outsourced services against agreed scopes and service levels. Verify manpower, check invoices against work actually done, and track AMCs and renewals.

· **Utilities and events:** Monitor and reduce electricity, water and fuel use. Plan the facilities and logistics for examinations, sports days, annual days and other large events.

· Working English for reporting, and fluent Kannada and/or Hindi for directing on\-site staff.
