The Opportunity

Walker & Sloan is recruiting a Design Coordinator to join a specialist main contractor delivering a data centre project in Acton.

If you have a grounding in construction design coordination and want to develop your experience on a technically demanding project, this is an opportunity to work closely with design consultants, specialist subcontractors and the site delivery team.

Role Overview

You’ll support the coordination of design information, helping ensure drawings and technical submissions are reviewed, issued and available to support the construction programme.

Working alongside the design and project teams, you’ll help identify gaps between disciplines, track outstanding information and follow up on design queries. You’ll take part in design meetings, maintain action trackers and support the review of subcontractor design submissions.

The role will involve coordinating architectural, structural and building services information, with attention to buildability and the interfaces between packages. You’ll also help communicate design changes so the site team has clear, up-to-date information.

About You

You may already be working as a Design Coordinator, Technical Coordinator or Assistant Design Manager, or be ready to move into a coordination role from a relevant construction design background.

You’ll understand how design information supports construction delivery and be comfortable reading technical drawings, raising queries and working with different project stakeholders.

You’ll need an organised approach, attention to detail and the confidence to follow up on outstanding actions. Previous main contractor experience would be valuable. Data centre experience would be an advantage, although relevant experience from other construction sectors will also be considered.

Company Profile

You’ll be joining a specialist main contractor delivering technically complex construction projects. The business brings together design, commercial and delivery teams to manage projects with demanding technical and programme requirements.

What’s in It for You?

• Competitive salary and package, dependent on experience.
• Experience on a data centre project in West London.
• Exposure to complex design coordination and specialist construction packages.
• The opportunity to develop your knowledge alongside experienced project colleagues.
