Technical Designer - Facades
Location: Leicester
As a specialist recruiter operating within the façade, cladding, and remediation sector, I am currently working with a well-established building envelope contractor delivering remediation and re-cladding schemes, including high-rise projects exceeding 18m requiring Gateway approval.
Due to continued growth and regulatory demand, they are seeking a senior-level Technical Design Lead to take ownership of Building Safety Regulator (BSR) submissions and Gateway processes.
The Role
This is a strategic technical position focused on regulatory compliance rather than hands-on drawing production.
You will:
* Lead and coordinate Gateway 2 submissions to the BSR
* Manage responses to BSR RFIs and regulatory queries
* Compile and present technical information in a clear, structured and compliant format
* Coordinate consultants, façade designers and internal teams to ensure documentation accuracy
* Ensure alignment with Building Regulations, HRB requirements and the Building Safety Act
* Support internal stakeholders on compliance strategy across remediation projects
1. This role would suit a senior technical professional who understands façade systems and remediation but prefers governance and regulatory coordination over full-time CAD production.
Ideal Background
* Strong understanding of HRB projects (18m+)
* Proven experience dealing with Gateway submissions and Building Control
* Background within cladding, façade, EWI or re-cladding projects
* Experience compiling technical compliance packs
* Strong written and presentational skills
* Comfortable liaising with regulators and external stakeholders
* Technical qualification in Architecture, Building Technology, Façade Engineering, or similar
Why Apply?
* Opportunity to take ownership of regulatory compliance within a growing remediation contractor
* Strategic, senior-level position
* Employee Owned Trust structure – long-term cultural and financial benefits
* Work within a specialist façade environment at the forefront of post-Grenfell remediation
