You will manage the design process from initial brief through to completion, working closely with internal teams, clients, consultants, suppliers and other stakeholders. You will be responsible for maintaining design quality, supporting delivery against agreed timescales and ensuring that work meets relevant standards, specifications and budgetary expectations.

Key responsibilities

  • Coordinate designers, consultants and external partners, ensuring effective communication and collaboration.
  • Review drawings, specifications, models and other design information for quality, accuracy and compliance.

  • Support and mentor team members, encouraging innovation and continuous improvement.

About you

You will have proven experience in a design management, design coordination or comparable role, with a strong understanding of design processes and project delivery. You should be comfortable managing competing priorities, making informed decisions and presenting information clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Strong communication, organisation and problem-solving skills are essential, alongside a collaborative and proactive approach. Experience of relevant design software, project management systems and industry standards would be beneficial. A relevant degree, professional qualification or equivalent practical experience is desirable.

You will be expected to demonstrate sound judgement, commercial awareness and a commitment to delivering high-quality outcomes. In return, this role offers the opportunity to make a significant contribution to varied projects while developing your leadership and professional expertise.
