Required background: Housebuilding

I’m working with a well-established contractor who has an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality commercial and industrial schemes across the region. They’re now looking for an experienced Design Manager to join their team and take the lead on a variety of challenging and rewarding projects.

In this role, you’ll be the driving force behind the design process—making sure concepts are not only creative but also practical, cost-effective, and ready to be built. You’ll work closely with architects, engineers, and project teams to keep everything on track from pre-construction right through to handover.

Day-to-day, you’ll be:

  • Coordinating and managing the design process across multiple stakeholders.
  • Ensuring all designs meet regulations, contracts, and industry standards.
  • Reviewing drawings and specifications to spot potential issues early.
  • Supporting tender stages with technical insight and value engineering ideas.
  • Aligning designs with budget and programme requirements.
  • Championing safety, quality, and sustainability in every stage of design.

 

What my client is looking for:

  • Strong experience in design management, ideally within the commercial or industrial sector.
  • Technical knowledge of design software such as AutoCAD, Revit, or BIM tools.
  • Great communication skills and the ability to influence at all levels.
  • A problem-solving mindset with a keen eye for detail.
  • A solid understanding of construction processes and building regulations.

 

What’s in it for you:

  • The chance to lead on significant, high-profile projects.
  • A supportive, collaborative team environment.
  • Opportunities to develop your leadership skills and progress your career.
  • Competitive salary and benefits package.

If you’re an experienced Design Manager looking for your next step and you’d like to work with a forward-thinking contractor who values quality and innovation, we would love to hear from you.
