Design Manager

Permanent

Luton

£48,000 - £55,000

Based in Luton, this privately owned Engineering Construction company (£20m turnover) is seeking to employ a Structural Design Manager on a permanent basis. The company focuses on geotechnical and structural engineering and products supporting housing developments across London and the South East.

They are looking for an experienced Structural Engineer to manage the design of the projects, liaising with sub-contractors, design consultants, and internal clients to deliver the projects on time and within budget. This is not a design-focused role; it is a project management/liaison role for someone coming from a Structural Engineering background.

The role will require you to manage the design and coordination of the engineering works, making recommendations to clients, consultancies, and contractors while ensuring they are delivered upon throughout the process. This is a cradle-to-grave role with large elements of self-autonomy while working within a supportive and developing team. There will be an opportunity to occasionally develop geo-technical designs with the in-house design team, approaching it from the position of a structural engineer.

This role will suit a Structural Engineer who has experience working on and managing a range of structural projects in the UK and wishes to move away from the day-to-day technical design aspects of consultancy work.

This is a great opportunity to leave the consultancy environment and join the main contractor environment and all the benefits that brings with it.
