We're currently working with a specialist design and build contractor to recruit a Design Coordinator to support the delivery of complex construction and engineering projects.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience coordinating design information who enjoys working in a fast‑paced project environment.

The business has a strong pipeline of secured work and is looking for someone who values long‑term stability, variety and the opportunity to develop within a growing organisation.

• Supporting the Design Manager in coordinating design information across multiple live projects
• Managing the flow, control and distribution of drawings, calculations and technical documentation
• Liaising with external design consultants, project managers and site teams to ensure information is issued accurately and on programme
• Reviewing design documentation and assisting with the coordination of technical queries during construction
• Monitoring design programmes and helping to ensure key milestones are achieved
• Attending project and design meetings where required
• Supporting continuous improvements to design management processes and document control

Why Apply

• Excellent opportunity to develop your career within a supportive environment
• Permanent position offering stability, progression and exposure to technically interesting projects
