The Role
We're looking for a driven and detail orientated Technical Manager to lead the delivery of our first phase at Barnsbury Estate, a long-term project in joint venture with our partner Newlon Housing just around the corner from King's Cross St Pancras. Preconstruction design is complete and now is a great time to join and lead the team through the delivery of the first phase of 190 homes (part of an estate that will eventually yield 1100 in total).
You'll have experience in leading and managing all design elements of a large RC frame residential project from start to finish and have been involved in RIBA Stages 4-6. You'll be key in driving the delivery of this phase, coordinating the design, managing consultants, chairing design team meetings, doing reporting, closing out RFIs, discharging planning conditions – the works.
Ours is a high-performance culture. High performance in this role is showing excellent precision in applying technical requirements and being a great collaborator cross-functionally (we do nothing in silo, here). We'll expect you to manage consultants, making sure invoices and variations have the I's dotted and the T's crossed, and produce regular reports that are super clear and help us keep continuously improving, day by day.
This is a culture where you'll be giving and getting feedback from day one, because we think it's the fastest way to learn and to build trust. We want to be challenged by you, too – we hate unnecessary hierarchy and "my way or the highway" has no place here. So, if you're interested in working on a new flagship scheme apply now
Mount Anvil
What we do: We've worked in partnership for 31 years to create outstanding places in London. We're growing, with our construction turnover doubling, and with a pipeline of new projects where we're raring to get started and make a difference.
Why we're here: We're here to pursue better, differently.
Better: One of The Sunday Times' "100 Best Small Companies to Work For" for over a decade, winner of multiple Pride In The Job and WhatHouse awards for our people and the quality of our homes, and proud to have the nation's best site in our ranks (winning the highest possible marks across the Considerate Constructors Scheme's five areas – the first site ever to do so in 22 years of the CCS).
Differently: Our culture is unusual. Different means more transparent with information. More direct with feedback that helps us all grow. More rigorous about setting goals, then giving more freedom to go and achieve them. It's definitely not for everyone. We don't hire know-it-alls, we hire "learn-it-alls". As our CEO, Killian, says: "We work hard to find people who thrive on context and responsibility, rather than rules and procedures. We then work like owner managers, not a leader and a load of helpers."
Benefits:
Private medical insurance for you and your family through Vitality (including discounts on spa breaks, cinema tickets and your food shopping, free Starbucks, 50% off Virgin Active Membership and more).
Income Protection Insurance to help you cope financially if you're unable to work due to illness or injury, Life Assurance equivalent to four times your salary, your annual leave & Bank Holidays, enhanced maternity and paternity leave and workplace nursery salary sacrifice, allowing you to save tax and NI on monthly nursery fees.
We think the best benefit of being here is the learning culture and the ability to make a real difference – we dislike hierarchy and politics, and "not my job" isn't in our vernacular. Which means if you really care about raising the bar and really want to feel connected to the end product, as opposed to like a cog in a big machine, this could be the place for you to grow your career.
