Design Manager – Roofing & Cladding
Warrington - Option for Hybrid
£50,000 – £58,000 + Clear Progression to Senior Leadership
We are working with a fast-growing roofing and cladding contractor based in Warrington, delivering high-quality building envelope packages across the North West, with project values up to £2m. As part of their continued growth, they are looking to appoint a confident and commercially aware Design Manager to take full ownership of the design function.
This is a pivotal hire for the business and offers a genuine long-term pathway into senior leadership.

* Currently operating as a Design Manager, or a Senior Designer ready to step up
* Strong technical knowledge and the confidence to lead projects independently
* Decisive, proactive, and commercially minded
* Comfortable operating as the sole in-house design lead
* Ambitious, with a long-term view to progress into senior leadership
What’s on Offer:
* £50,000 – £58,000 salary (depending on experience)
