- Facilitate design reviews, workshops and coordination meetings, ensuring actions are recorded and completed.
- Identify and manage design risks, opportunities, interfaces and technical queries.
- Ensure designs comply with relevant legislation, building regulations, industry standards and project requirements.
- Support procurement, construction and handover activities by providing timely and accurate technical information.
About you
You will have proven experience in a Design Manager or similar design coordination role, ideally within construction, engineering, infrastructure or the built environment. A strong understanding of design management principles, technical approvals and construction processes is essential.
