About the Role

In this role, you will be the bridge between creative ideas and real-world construction. You will work closely with our Design Director and the wider project team from the early concept stages all the way through to construction and as-built packs.

We trust our team to take ownership, so you will have the independence to manage your own workload and protect the design intent, cost, and timeline of each project.

What you will be doing day-to-day:

• Bring concepts to life: Turn creative sketches and design ideas into detailed, buildable technical drawings and construction packages.
• Coordinate the details: Bring together architectural, structural, and building-services information so everything fits perfectly.
• Solve puzzles: Lead technical reviews to spot and fix construction risks or design challenges early on.
• Keep things accurate: Review supplier drawings, complete site surveys, and make sure all documentation is highly accurate.
• Collaborate: Chat regularly with clients, consultants, suppliers, contractors, and our internal teams.
• Support the team: Help our estimator by gathering quotes and putting together clear project scopes.

About You

We are looking for a problem-solver who enjoys a fast-paced environment and feels confident making decisions.

To thrive in this role, you will need:

• Experience: A solid background in technical design and project delivery, ideally within the workplace design-and-build or office fit-out sector.
• Software skills: Excellent, hands-on AutoCAD and SketchUp skills are crucial for this role.
• Technical knowledge: A good understanding of technical detailing, UK Building Regulations, British Standards, and CDM requirements.
• Coordination skills: Experience managing multidisciplinary details (structure, architecture, and services) during the pre-construction phase.
• Nice-to-haves:If know your way around sustainability standards like BREEAM, WELL, or SKA, it would be a huge benefit.

Why Join Us?

This is a varied, hands-on role in our pre-contracts team where no two days are the same. You will get to mix site surveys and client meetings with technical design work. If you love taking initiative and building great spaces, you will fit right in.
