Liaise with subcontractors, pushing back where necessary and holding accountability
Support the tender process and design input at bid stage
Ensure design is delivered in line with programme and project constraints

What We're Looking For

Design Manager or Senior Design Manager experience, ideally for a main contractor
Exposure to a range of project types: commercial, residential, fit-out or refurbishment would be desirable
Comfortable working autonomously and getting stuck into the detail
Confident communicator with strong coordination skills
Able to hold your own with clients, consultants and subcontractors
Proactive, self-motivated and delivery-focused

What's On Offer

Salary up to £90,000 (depending on experience)
