Design Manager – Workplace Interiors

Design Manager (Contract) – Workplace Interiors

London | Immediate Start | 3‑Month Contract

We’re looking for an experienced Design Manager to join a high‑profile workplace fit‑out project in London, with an immediate start required.

This is a project‑focused role, not a roaming position — you’ll be embedded on a single, large‑scale scheme, supporting a critical phase of design coordination and delivery. It’s fast‑paced, detail‑driven, and requires someone who can confidently sit between design, technical delivery, and site.

The Role

• Take ownership of design coordination and delivery, ensuring the project moves seamlessly from design intent through to build.
• Lead design coordination across all disciplines (interiors, consultants, subcontractors).
• Manage the flow of drawings, packages, and technical information.
• Act as the key link between design team, delivery team, and site.
• Ensure design intent is maintained while remaining buildable and programme‑aligned.
• Review drawings for coordination, quality, and compliance.
• Drive resolution of design issues and RFIs.
• Support programme by ensuring design deliverables are issued on time.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong experience as a Design Manager on workplace/interiors fit‑outs.
• Background in commercial workplace design (essential).
• Confident managing multi‑disciplinary design coordination.
• Solid technical understanding – able to review and challenge drawings.
• Experience working closely with site teams and delivery programmes.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Able to step into a live project and add value immediately.

The Opportunity

• Join a major London workplace project at a critical stage.
• Be embedded on a single flagship scheme.
• Work within a fast‑moving design & build environment.
• 3‑month contract with potential for extension depending on programme.
