- Work closely with project managers, estimators, and clients
- Manage and mentor future design team members as the business continues to scale
- Influence the growth and structure of the design function
- Support tendering, value engineering, and D&B design responsibilities
This is a role for someone who wants more influence, more say, and long-term progression.
What’s on Offer
- £85,000+ Salary
- Travel allowance
- Healthcare
- 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
- Clear progression to Head of Design / Technical Director
- Opportunity to shape your own team
- Strong project pipeline with a booming order book
