I'm working directly with a well-established London contractor who are looking to strengthen their Design Management team with the appointment of a Senior Design Manager.
This role would suit someone from either a Structural Engineering or Architectural background who enjoys complex refurbishment and structural alteration projects rather than straightforward new build schemes.

The Role
* Leading design management activities across commercial refurbishment and cut & carve projects

* Managing consultant teams, specialist subcontractors and technical design development
* Reviewing drawings, technical information and design deliverables
* Driving design coordination, buildability reviews and statutory compliance
* Supporting commercial teams with value engineering and change management
* Chairing design meetings and managing stakeholder communication
* Working closely with project delivery teams from pre-construction through to completion
Project Exposure
Current and recent projects include:
* £70m flagship commercial refurbishment combining major structural alterations with Cat A and Cat B fit-out
* £25m, 42,000 sq ft West End commercial refurbishment for a major institutional client
* Heavy structural reconfiguration projects involving façade removal, column strengthening, slab alterations, basement works and complex temporary works requirements
* Cat A and Cat B commercial fit-outs ranging from £2m-£60m+
What they're looking for
Design Manager, Structural Design Manager, Structural Engineer or Technical Manager background
* Strong understanding of structural engineering and building construction
* Experience working on refurbishment, cut & carve or structural alteration projects
* Degree qualified in Structural Engineering or Architecture

The Business

* Strong reputation for delivering technically challenging schemes
* Projects typically ranging from £2m-£60m+
* Long-standing client relationships with institutional and blue-chip occupiers
* Office-based culture with close collaboration between teams
* Flexible working considered but office and site presence expected
