As the project progresses into construction, you will oversee the transition to contractor-led design development, ensuring the original design intent is maintained through Stage 5 delivery.

You will also provide technical support to project teams, review contractor submissions, and act as a key interface between consultants, contractors, and internal stakeholders.

  • Procure and manage external design consultants.
  • Drive programme, coordination, and design quality.
  • Review technical submissions and design deliverables.
  • Support contractor-led design development through Stage 5.
  • Ensure design intent is maintained throughout construction.
  • Provide technical guidance to project and site teams.
  • Coordinate effectively with consultants, contractors, and internal stakeholders.

About You

  • Proven experience in MEP Design Management.
