Overview
King's College London is seeking to appoint a Project Design Coordinator within its Real Estate Development team—an exceptional opportunity to play a key role in shaping and assuring the design of a diverse portfolio of capital projects at one of the world’s leading universities.
About the role
As Project Design Coordinator, you will provide design coordination and assurance across a range of capital projects, with a particular focus on early-stage design (RIBA Stages 1–3). You will work closely with Project Managers, Senior Project Managers, and the Pre‑construction team to ensure that consultant design outputs are robust, compliant, and aligned with project briefs and Estates standards prior to contractor appointment.
Following procurement, you will support ongoing design assurance through the delivery stages, helping to maintain design integrity and ensuring a clear “golden thread” of information is retained throughout project lifecycles. The role involves interrogating design information, identifying risks and gaps, coordinating multidisciplinary inputs, and supporting governance processes through clear and concise reporting.
You will act as a key link between consultants and internal stakeholders, helping to ensure projects are set up for successful delivery while operating in a complementary capacity to the wider project management team.
