Mark Procter is the Team Leader of Electrical Services in the Property Services division at the University of Otago, based on the Dunedin Campus. His team consists of registered master electricians who deliver essential electrical and controls services across the university's built environment. They handle a wide range of tasks, including new electrical installations, alterations to existing systems, repairs, maintenance, and servicing. Additional services encompass appliance testing and repairs, tube and battery recycling, specialist lighting control systems such as DALI, clock systems maintenance, work in hazardous areas, design consultation, installation and maintenance of HVAC and BMS controls, management of security, networking, and phone installations, IQP inspections for emergency lighting, HVAC, and emergency power systems, and a 24/7 call-out service for safety maintenance in all university buildings.

Mark Procter is also actively involved in energy and sustainability initiatives at the University of Otago. Listed as Electrician Controls, he contributes to Property Services' efforts to enhance energy efficiency, such as upgrading heating systems, improving building management control systems, designing sustainable new buildings, maximizing recycling, and encouraging power-saving practices like turning off lights and monitors in unoccupied areas, reducing supplementary heating, closing doors and drawing curtains, using stairs instead of lifts, and ensuring devices operate in energy-saving modes. Furthermore, he collaborates with researchers Jason Mair and David Eyers from the Department of Computer Science, and Shane Jenkins from Property Services, on the Otago Energy Research Centre (OERC) Energy Living Labs pilot project titled "Software to monitor/visualise energy use." This project develops tools to visualize real-time energy consumption data, facilitating improved energy management, cost reductions, and serving as a platform for research on responsiveness to information campaigns. The project outcomes were presented at the OERC symposium in 2020.
