Job description

Capstone Recruitment is working with a leading London consultancy looking to appoint an Associate Director / Director to support the delivery of a major 500,000+ sq ft commercial development.

The project is currently in early concept design and involves significant technical complexity across the base build, façade, structural / cut-and-carve works and MEP.

The Role

The role will have a strong focus on the technical and construction delivery of the development, working closely with the client, contractor and wider consultant team.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Base-build development monitoring
• Design management and coordination
• MEP coordination and oversight
• Technical quality and buildability
• Identifying scope gaps and package interfaces
• Contract administration
• Programme and commercial oversight
• Client, consultant and contractor management

You’ll need to be comfortable getting into the technical detail, identifying potential issues early and confidently challenging consultants and contractors while advising the client on the right course of action.

Background

This search is not limited to candidates from a traditional Project Management background.

We’re interested in speaking with people from:

• Design Management / Main Contracting
• Civil / Structural Engineering
• Building Surveying
• Development Monitoring
• Technical Project Management

A Senior Design Manager, Design Lead or Technical Manager with strong client-facing and commercial experience could be particularly well suited.

The Person

The key requirement is a strong understanding of how complex buildings are designed and constructed, combined with commercial awareness and the confidence to operate directly with senior clients.

You’ll be technically credible, collaborative and comfortable taking ownership, while working closely with the wider project team.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong technical construction background who has developed broader project, commercial and client responsibility and is ready to move into a senior consultancy position.
