You'll be trusted to run your own workload and make decisions on site, while taking genuine pressure off the wider management team. Why this role is worth considering: Strong and growing pipeline of wastewater work Long-term opportunity rather than a short-term gap fill Genuine autonomy across multiple live projects Opportunity to take on larger schemes as the workload increases Flexible contractor arrangement, with LTD / CIS likely to be available Client is focused on quality and experience, not simply filling the role quickly You'll need: Proven water industry experience, ideally wastewater Strong drainage and connections experience SMSTS First Aid Temporary Works Coordinator Experience managing multiple sites, gangs and subcontractors Good planning and programme awareness AP status and programming experience would be advantageous, but aren't essential. If you're an experienced wastewater Site Manager looking for more ownership, a growing workload and a contractor that will trust you to get on with delivery, this is worth a conversation.

This is a key technical position within the business, supporting projects from land acquisition and feasibility through to design, approvals and construction. The role would suit an experienced Technical Manager looking for their next step, or a strong Senior Technical Coordinator / Technical Coordinator ready to take on greater responsibility and progress into a management-level position. Importantly, we're open to candidates from either an architectural or engineering background. What matters most is strong experience within a housebuilder or residential developer environment, combined with the technical knowledge and commercial awareness to coordinate projects and drive them forward. About the Role: You'll take ownership of the technical coordination of residential developments, working closely with internal teams and external consultants to ensure projects are well-designed, technically compliant, commercially viable and ultimately buildable. You'll act as a key link between Land, Planning, Commercial, Construction and external design teams, providing technical input throughout the development lifecycle and helping resolve issues before they impact programme or cost. Key Responsibilities Lead and coordinate external architectural, engineering, structural and specialist consultants. Manage technical design information from feasibility and land acquisition through to construction. Review drawings, specifications and technical information to ensure designs are coordinated and buildable. Provide technical input into land appraisals, site feasibility and development proposals. Coordinate civil engineering requirements including levels, drainage, infrastructure and groundworks. Manage technical approvals, including Building Regulations, planning conditions and Section 38, 104 and 278 agreements. Ensure designs and construction information comply with NHBC Standards, Building Regulations, CDM and relevant technical requirements. Identify technical risks and site constraints early, developing practical solutions to keep projects moving. Support value engineering, cost planning and specification decisions alongside the Commercial and Construction teams. Work closely with site teams throughout construction, resolving technical queries and maintaining design intent. Help manage technical programmes, ensuring design information and approvals are delivered in line with project requirements. Provide guidance and technical leadership across projects and contribute to improving internal processes and standards. What We're Looking For: We're open to a range of backgrounds, but you'll ideally have: Experience working for a housebuilder or residential developer. Previous experience at Technical Manager, Senior Technical Coordinator or similar level. Candidates currently operating as a Senior Technical Coordinator who are ready to step into a Technical Manager position will also be considered. A background in architecture, civil engineering, structural engineering or another relevant technical discipline. Strong understanding of the residential development process and technical coordination. Good knowledge of Building Regulations, NHBC Standards, CDM and planning/technical approvals. Experience coordinating external consultants and design teams. Understanding of residential infrastructure, drainage and groundworks would be advantageous. Strong communication and organisational skills, with the confidence to work across multiple internal and external stakeholders. A practical, commercially aware and solutions-focused approach. AutoCAD experience would be beneficial, with Revit experience advantageous, but the focus is on your technical and residential development experience rather than software alone. Why Join? You'll be joining a reputable and established residential developer with a strong reputation for delivering well-designed, high-quality homes across the South East. The business offers a supportive, experienced and collaborative environment, with genuine scope for someone to take ownership, influence technical decisions and progress their career. This is an opportunity for an experienced technical professional to have real involvement across the entire development lifecycle, rather than simply coordinating drawings from the sidelines. Package & Benefits 70,000 - 80,000 salary, depending on experience Monday-Friday, generally 9:00am-5:30pm 42.5 hours per week, including a 30-minute lunch Permanent position Surrey / South East based projects Career progression within an established residential developer Immediate interview availability Interested?
