About You The successful candidate will have proven experience as a Design Manager working for a main contractor, with a strong background in managing design through the delivery stages of live construction projects. You will be confident working alongside site-based teams and understand the practical requirements of delivering construction projects on site. The ability to identify design issues early, coordinate multiple stakeholders and drive solutions through to completion is essential.

The Opportunity This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established contractor with a strong pipeline of work and a varied project portfolio. You will have the opportunity to take genuine ownership of the design function on live projects, working as an integral part of the delivery team and playing a key role in ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, to programme and to the required quality standards.
