6. Conduct buildability and value engineering reviews during pre-construction
7. Provide technical support to procurement and construction teams on site
8. Identify and resolve technical risks, ensuring smooth progression through key gateways

2. Solid understanding of concrete frame construction methods
3. Hands-on experience preparing BSR Gateway 2 Applications (and/or familiarity with Building Safety Act requirements)
4. Strong knowledge of UK housing standards, planning, and regulatory processes
5. RIBA Part 3 qualified with a BA in Architectural Design (or equivalent)
6. Excellent communication, coordination, and stakeholder management skills
7. Detail-driven, solution-oriented, and confident working on large-scale developments

What's in It for You?

2. Work on high-profile residential schemes in a thriving regional hub
3. Join a supportive team with real momentum and room for progression
4. Competitive salary, bonus scheme, and full benefits package
5. A chance to shape the future of housing in the heart of Birmingham
