Located in Salt Lake City, the University of Utah is a public, 4-year institution committed to providing an exceptional academic and co-curricular experience for students and the University community. The U is a BIG 12 institution with over 33,000 students. Housing & Dining Programs (HDP) is home to over 5,000 students who live in a mix of historic and new construction, totaling 22 co-ed residence halls and 10 apartment buildings. HDP continues to grow, with a 1,500-bed residence hall currently under construction on lower campus, slated to open in fall 2026. The University Housing Campus Master Plan calls for continued growth and construction to meet housing demand, with a stated goal of adding 5,000 beds over the next five years.

This position assists with occupancy-related tasks for the entire campus, including, but not limited to, waitlists, room changes, and occupancy verification processes. The role also serves as the point person for occupancy management for upper campus.

Housing & Dining Programs and the University of Utah value interactions among individuals with varying traditions, cultures, identities, expressions, orientations, religious beliefs, economic backgrounds, and racial / ethnic origins. We strongly encourage applications from candidates who will share and explore this value with the team and with the residents.

To that end, we aim to foster an environment that encourages employees to embrace innovative service delivery methods to best meet the needs of our students. As a result, students have the opportunity to participate in the creation of campus culture, working collaboratively alongside professional staff, student leaders, and academic partners.
