Over the last four months, Facilities/Construction Management has recruited three
team members who will be overseeing a range of responsibilities for the department.This summer, Jennifer Rea accepted the position of assistant dir
ector of facilities communications and engagement. The communications aspect covers
the website development and maintenance, social media oversight, internal communications
for the department of 400+ employees and information gathering for outside of the
department. The engagement portion is defined as connecting within the department
such as trainings and development opportunities but includes engaging with the campus
community as well. Jennifer has been with the University of Houston for six years
and is excited to continue to bring her enthusiasm to help connect and be the conduit
of information.
David Geis joined the University of Houston in August and works as the assistant director
of operations and utility services. He will be giving oversight to the teams that
help maintain the utilities for the campus. He has over 20 years of experience in
manufacturing, operations, engineering and maintenance and in the past has worked
for Minute Maid, Maxwell House Coffee and Cadeco Industries. He is originally from
Indiana but has lived in Texas for 21 years.
David is proud to be able to now support UH and its mission even more closely since
his son is a sophomore living on campus.
October marked the month when Dwight Bradley began as the assistant director of customer
service. Before coming to the University of Houston, he worked several years with
the City of Houston as an Assistant Project Manager responsible for overseeing facility
projects, both large and small, including the completion of a $17.5 million dollar
quadrant building on the NE side of the city. He has been charged with helping to
further develop and fully implement the “Revolutionizing Customer Service” initiative.
F/CM has placed an emphasis on customer service and wants to make sure there is a
synergistic relationship between the customer’s needs and technicians. Dwight is ready
for this new challenge in his life and is quickly learning how to say, “Go Coogs!”
Each of these three employees are ready to assist the campus community and help to
build the future and maintain excellence.
