📢 Design Coordinator – Major Data Centre Project | Hayes
💼 Salary: Competitive + Full Package
📍 Location: Hayes (West London)
🏗️ Sector: Data Centres | Mission-Critical | Design & Build | Construction
🕵️ ♂️ For my client – an outstanding regional contractor delivering complex, high-value projects across the UK.
Are you a Design Coordinator with a few years’ experience in construction, ready to take on a major, technically challenging project - but not in a rush to jump straight into a Design Manager role?
This is an opportunity to join a highly respected regional contractor working on a flagship new-build data centre in Hayes. You’ll gain exposure to cutting-edge systems, complex services coordination, and fast-moving design processes while being supported by an experienced senior team.
This role is perfect for someone who wants growth through mastery, not a title - someone who’s hungry to learn, committed to developing their craft, and ready to take ownership of design coordination on a major project.
🔧 The Role
As Design Coordinator, you’ll work closely with the Design Manager and project delivery teams to support the successful coordination of architectural, structural, MEP, and specialist packages on a mission-critical project.
Your responsibilities will include:
* 🧩 Assisting in design reviews, workshops, and coordination meetings
* ✏️ Managing information flow, drawings, RFI logs, and design documentation
* 🔧 Supporting clash detection, buildability reviews, and technical approvals
* 🤝 Liaising with subcontractors, consultants, and internal teams
* 📑 Tracking design progress and ensuring deliverables are met
* 🧠 Learning and developing your design management skills on a high-complexity project
This is a genuine opportunity to become an excellent Design Coordinator - not a rushed step into management.
✅ Ideal Candidate Profile
We’re looking for someone who is:
* ✔️ Experienced in construction (2–5 years), ideally in design coordination or technical roles
* ✔️ Keen to learn and grow within the Design Coordinator role before progressing further
* ✔️ Able to manage information, communicate clearly, and stay organised
* ✔️ Comfortable working on technically complex projects (MEP-heavy, fast-paced environments)
* ✔️ A team player who values development over titles
* ✔️ Based in or able to commute to Hayes / West London
This role is not for someone seeking immediate promotion to Design Manager - it’s for someone who wants to become genuinely excellent at DC level before taking the next step.
💰 What’s on Offer
* 💷 Highly competitive salary + full benefits package
* 🏗️ Exposure to one of the UK’s most exciting data centre projects
* 📚 Structured development with mentorship from an experienced senior team
* 🤝 A supportive, down-to-earth contractor known for its quality and culture
* 🚀 Long-term career progression when performance - not expectation - is demonstrated
This project will elevate your experience, your technical understanding, and your long-term career trajectory.
📩 Interested?
If you’re a driven Design Coordinator who wants to grow the right way - with the right people - I’d love to hear from you.
