Specification Consultant / Senior Specification Consultant

Morson Edge are working with a leading global multidisciplinary consultancy to recruit a Specification Consultant or Senior Specification Consultant to join their growing Specification Consultancy team in London or Manchester.

This is an excellent opportunity for an Architectural Technologist, Specification Writer or Specification Consultant looking to specialise within a dedicated technical consultancy environment. You'll work across a diverse portfolio of UK and international projects, supporting both internal design teams and external clients across sectors including Defence, Nuclear, Justice, Healthcare, Infrastructure, Transport, Government, Commercial and the Middle East.

Whether you're an experienced Specification Consultant looking to further develop your career, or a Senior Specification Consultant ready to lead projects, mentor colleagues and help grow the team, this role offers outstanding long-term progression within a specialist consultancy.

Working alongside Architects, Architectural Technologists, Building Surveyors and multidisciplinary design teams, you'll be responsible for producing coordinated architectural specifications throughout the design process.

Rather than simply writing specifications, you'll interrogate architectural designs, challenge proposals where required and develop robust technical specifications that align with design intent, contract requirements, performance criteria and project objectives.

Projects typically range from 3-9 months, with multiple live commissions running simultaneously across both the UK and international markets.

Senior-level candidates will also have the opportunity to lead projects, mentor junior consultants, build long-term client relationships, contribute to business development and play a key role in the continued growth of the team.
