Job description

Senior Design Manager - Tier 1 Design & Build

We are seeking an experienced Design Manager from a Tier 1 Design & Build background to support the final stages of a major construction project.

The immediate focus will be on coordinating and closing out the remaining internal fit-out works, managing outstanding design information and resolving technical interfaces between subcontractors, consultants and the site team.

As the project progresses towards completion, the role will transition towards managing Building Control requirements, BREEAM certification, Secured by Design compliance and the coordination of O&M manuals, as-built information and handover documentation.

The ideal candidate will have strong experience in late-stage construction delivery, technical coordination and project close-out, with a practical, proactive approach to resolving issues and driving deliverables to completion.

This role is suited to a delivery-focused Design Manager rather than someone specialising in early-stage design development or project inception.
