This is a really good opportunity for someone from an architectural background who has strong technical and coordination experience and is now looking to make the move into main contractor-side Design Management. You don't necessarily need to have held the title of Design Manager before.

The business has a strong reputation for delivering high-quality projects and has grown into a multidisciplinary principal contractor delivering refurbishment, fit-out and new-build projects across London and the South East. About the Business This is an established, privately owned contractor with a strong pipeline and a genuinely collaborative culture.

We're particularly interested in people who have: Strong technical understanding Experience coordinating multiple stakeholders Good knowledge of construction drawings and specifications Experience working with consultants and contractors Excellent organisational skills Strong communication and relationship-building ability A commercial and practical approach to design Confidence dealing with different disciplines The ability to challenge information where required A genuine interest in developing into a senior Design Management role Main contractor experience would be advantageous, but isn't essential for the right architectural candidate.

You'll have exposure to senior management, project delivery and commercial teams, while being given the autonomy to develop the Design Management function across your projects. The business has a very collaborative, personal culture, with a strong emphasis on teamwork and long-term relationships. They are continuing to grow and have a clear pipeline of work, making this a particularly good time to join.
