I’m currently working with a highly respected and well-established residential contractor to recruit a Design Manager for their growing technical team. The role would suit an established Design Manager with experience in construction or residential development, but I would also be keen to speak with talented architects who are looking to transition into design management and develop their career within a contractor environment.
With a strong pipeline of projects and a commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability, this organisation offers the opportunity to play a key role in the successful delivery of a diverse range of residential developments.
As Design Manager, you will work closely with internal departments, consultants, subcontractors, and project teams to coordinate and manage the design process from pre-construction through to project completion.

Responsibilities:
– Managing and coordinating the flow of design information across multiple residential developments.
– Leading design coordination meetings with consultants, technical specialists, and internal stakeholders.
– Reviewing drawings, specifications, and technical information to identify risks, clashes, and opportunities for improvement.
– Ensuring compliance with planning conditions, building regulations, statutory requirements, and project specifications.
– Supporting the delivery of buildable, cost-effective design solutions through value engineering and collaborative problem-solving.
– Monitoring design progress to ensure information is issued accurately and in line with project programmes.
– Working closely with construction, commercial, and technical teams to support successful project delivery.
– Driving best practice, innovation, and continuous improvement throughout the design process.
Requirements:
– Experience within a Design Manager or similar role.
– Alternatively, a background in architecture with a desire to move into a design management.
– Strong understanding of construction detailing, technical design, and buildability.
– Knowledge of current building regulations and residential construction standards.
– Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
– Proactive, organised, and capable of managing multiple priorities simultaneously.
– Ability to work collaboratively within multidisciplinary project teams.
On offer:
– Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
– Opportunity to join a well-established and highly regarded residential contractor.
– Strong commitment to professional development and career progression.
