• Liaise with clients, consultants, and supply chain partners to develop efficient and innovative design solutions.
• Ensure all design outputs align with cost plans, programme, buildability, and client expectations.
• Contribute to bid strategies and attend interviews/presentations with clients.
• Mentor junior members of the team with a view to building a dedicated design team.

About You:

• Proven experience in design management at pre-construction stage, ideally within a main contractor environment.
• Strong understanding of RIBA stages, D&B contracts, and technical compliance.
• Excellent communication and coordination skills.
• Ambitious, driven, and ready to take the next step in your career.
• Degree qualified in architecture, engineering, construction management or similar field.

• Be part of a high-performing regional office with the support of a national leader.
• Join a business with a strong pipeline of prestigious projects.
• Clear and structured path to leadership and progression.
• Work on landmark schemes that shape city skylines.
• Competitive package including bonus, car allowance, pension, private healthcare, and flexible working.
