DESIGN MANAGER
I am currently recruiting on behalf of a Tier 1 Contractor who build medium sized projects through to some of the largest and most recognisable in the South. The company has a turnover of £650million and their name is recognised within the marketplace as delivering projects to the highest quality on time and budget.
Due to an internal promotion, they currently have a requirement for a Design Manager to join the Southern team. Projects are typically valued £5million through to £60million and will cover a wide range of interesting schemes. The current position would include projects at Porton Down, so if you have already been security clearance it would be advantageous as you will be working on some of the UK’s most technical and sensitive projects.
With one of the best training programs in the UK and one of the lowest turnovers of staff on the South Coast, this should be seen as a long term career opportunity.
Duties will include:
Management of the design development for packages of works.
Chairing regular design team meetings
Management of consultant design team.
Regular liaison with client, architect, consultants and the construction teams
Managing specialist sub-contractor design teams
Agreement of information required schedule; Ensuring key dates achieved
Dealing with local authorities to achieve planning permissions
Review of construction design information for buildability, compliance with contractor's proposals, employer's requirements, budget, current building legislation, etc
Identifying opportunities for value engineering opportunities where appropriate.
The last Design Manager I placed here is still there 9 years later. As a company they will offer a friendly working environment, skyline changing projects and a continuous workload
