This Design Manager opportunity offers the chance to step into a thriving, low-turnover environment where your work will directly contribute to some of the most exciting and innovative projects happening in the region. With a strong pipeline of work and an expanding portfolio, my client is growing - and they’re looking for a talented Design Manager to grow with them.
This Design Manager role offers the chance to lead and coordinate design across a variety of high-profile projects -ranging from education to commercial and laboratory developments - typically between £10m and £50m. You’ll work across both tender and delivery stages, with opportunities to shape bid strategies, challenge briefs, and drive innovation through all RIBA stages.
It’s a role for someone who enjoys making a genuine impact: collaborating with internal and external stakeholders, ensuring sustainability standards are met, and developing efficient and effective design solutions that reflect best practice.
This is a standout opportunity for someone with experience in the main contracting sector, particularly those who have worked on two-stage design and build projects.
