Overview
At Taylor Wimpey Manufacturing (TWM), we’re experiencing exciting growth in our supply of kits and expanding our supply chain to support a diverse range of roofing, flooring, and full kit solutions.

You’ll coordinate design information flows between internal teams, BU clients, and external partners, and ensure designs are integrated into the overall project scope.

* Monitor and drive design progress and third-party design to ensure all targets and deadlines are met.
* Support the Technical Director with STA-related duties, including certification and plot registration processes.
