Job description

We are looking for an experienced Design Coordinator to lead the initial stage of design coordination on a footbridge infrastructure project.

This is a key pre-construction and Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) role.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & ECI Coordination: Lead the first stage of design coordination, ensuring constructability, buildability, and value engineering principles are integrated early.

• Risk & Value Management: Facilitate and maintain the project Risk & Value Engineering Registers, identifying technical constraints and cost-saving opportunities.

• Construction Methodology & Planning: Support the development of robust construction sequences, piling methodologies, and concrete pipe installation plans.

• Specialist Interfaces: Coordinate critical site requirements, including Traffic Management (TM) phasing, Lift Planning for structural components, and Utility Coordination/Diverting.

• Phase 2 Development: Collaborate closely with planners and estimators to build the comprehensive construction programme and pricing structure for the Phase 2 construction works.

• Stakeholder & Team Leadership: Lead and align diverse teams across client bodies, designers, specialist subcontractors, and third-party stakeholders.

Candidate Requirements Essential

• Proven expertise in Design Coordination within civil engineering or major infrastructure projects.

• Direct experience developing Risk & Value Engineering registers.

• Strong technical knowledge of Traffic Management phasing on live highway corridors.

• Experience in Bridge Construction, including structural interfaces and buildability.
