The Role

You ve built your 10,000 hours. Now you re looking for a role where you can step up, take real responsibility, and help deliver outstanding residential construction work safely, efficiently, and without surprises.

As Technical Coordinator, your role is to turn vision into execution. Working across structural, planning, and interior design, you ll ensure that everything a project needs to be built right from sequencing to safety is thought through before it hits site.

You ll also play a vital role in protecting the customer experience. Construction can be overwhelming, full of technical disagreements, back-and-forth, and unclear language. Your job is to shield the customer from that stress making sure their project flows clearly, cleanly, and confidently without them being pulled into unnecessary technical friction.

This is not a caretaker role. This is a builder s role. A systems role. A get-it-done-right role in service of the customer, the team, and the end result.

Key Responsibilities

Pre-Construction Technical Delivery

• Prepare build-ready packs including:

- Construction sequencing

- Structural details and method statements

- Site-specific installation notes

• Ensure Building Regs, CDM, and engineering requirements are integrated into every job

Site Readiness & Support

• Conduct technical handovers to the site team
• Support the Operations Lead to deliver on time and budget
• Be the point of contact for on-site technical clarification especially around structural works, Helifix, lintels, and SIPs

Design & Engineering Alignment

• Work closely with the Lead Designer to protect the integrity of design while ensuring it s buildable and safe
• Resolve technical conflicts between architectural intent and construction reality
• Ensure planning and engineering constraints are handled proactively not passed downstream
• Systems & SOP Creation
• Develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) for repeatable project types such as:

- Lintel replacements

- Structural openings

- Extensions

- Retaining walls

- Interior fit-outs

• Note: This list is not exhaustive your job is to identify, systemise, and improve processes across all common and emerging job types
• Build and maintain an internal technical library: drawings, checklists, sequencing diagrams, material specs, risk points

About You

• 5 7 years in a technical construction role (site, design, or coordination)
• Degree or HNC/HND in Structural Engineering, Architectural Technology, or Construction Management
• Confident reading and producing technical drawings
• Strong working knowledge of Building Regs, sequencing, materials, and structural systems
• Comfortable communicating with both creatives and trades
• Proactive, methodical, and ready to own results
• Not a talker. A doer.
• Clear promotion pathway to Senior Technical Coordinator / Technical Manager (GBP40K+)
• Tools and training budget available as role grows

What Success Looks Like

• Jobs hit site ready to build no scrambling, no missing details
• The design team feels supported, not slowed down
• The site team feels equipped, not guessing
• Projects land on time, on budget, and without avoidable issues
• You ve helped standardise and improve how we build, not just responded to
• problems
