Responsibilities include:
  • Producing detailed Revit drawing packages from concept through to construction information
  • Translating design concepts into technically robust, buildable solutions
  • Coordinating with consultants, specialists and delivery teams on highly serviced environments
  • Resolving technical detailing across complex laboratory spaces
  • Ensuring designs comply with relevant regulations, technical standards and laboratory requirements
  • Supporting client conversations where an understanding of laboratory terminology, technical requirements and operational needs is important
About You:
  • Experience working as a Technical Designer within Design & Build or commercial interiors
  • Previous life sciences or laboratory project experience is essential
  • Strong Revit capability
  • Comfortable producing detailed technical drawing packages and coordinating with consultants
  • Confident discussing technical details with clients and project teams
