About You

We're keen to speak with candidates who have:

* Previous experience as a Design Manager with a UK main contractor.

* Strong technical construction knowledge across new build and refurbishment projects.

* Experience managing projects through both pre-construction and live delivery.

* Excellent communication, coordination and stakeholder management skills.

* A proactive approach with the ability to lead multidisciplinary design teams.

What's On Offer?

* Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.

* Hybrid and flexible working.

* Private healthcare and enhanced holiday entitlement.

* Long-term career progression with a financially secure regional contractor.

* A collaborative, people-first culture where individuals are genuinely valued and developed.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a Design Manager who wants to work for a business that genuinely invests in its people, delivers a varied portfolio of quality projects and offers long-term career progression within a supportive and collaborative environment.
