Job description

Overview

Specification Manager - Facade / Building Envelope / Brickwork

Derby / North (field-based)

£50,000-£60,000 basic + quarterly bonus + car/allowance + 33 days' holiday + health cash plan

Pure specification role. Interesting engineered products. Real technical influence at concept stage.

If you enjoy the technical side of specification - influencing facade and building envelope decisions early, delivering CPDs, and working closely with architects and consultants - this is a genuinely interesting portfolio to represent. The product range is specialist, engineered, and design-led, with unique systems that consistently catch specifiers\' attention (not a "same as everyone else" offering).

This is a pure specification role: technical influence and relationship-building at concept stage, with handover to a separate sales team once specifications are secured.

The Benefits

• Quarterly bonus (approx. 15% of annual salary)
• Car or allowance + full expenses
• 33 days' holiday + health cash plan + life assurance
• High-autonomy role with visible impact on projects

The Company

• Market-leading specialist within the building envelope / façade space
• Backed by a fast-growing international group
• Specification operates independently from sales - technical credibility first

The Role

• Deliver CPDs and technical presentations to architects, engineers, and consultants
• Write and support specifications to drive compliant design decisions
• Provide technical guidance around façade systems, brickwork and structural interface considerations
• Build relationships at design stage and maintain project momentum through to handover
• Handover secured specifications to sales (separate team)

The Person

• Track record influencing specifications within façade / building envelope / brickwork-related systems
• Confident presenting and comfortable delivering CPDs
• Technically minded - able to discuss compliance, details, and design intent credibly
• Midlands / North base, comfortable covering Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds and surrounding regions

If you want a spec role with autonomy, credibility, and a genuinely interesting product portfolio that actually sparks conversation in design meetings, this one is well worth a look.
