Design Manager
Reading
Long term contract!

One of the UK's most diverse contractors with a busy pipeline of work across a number of sectors is seeking a freelance Design Manager to work on a long term contract role.

They work on a range of negotiated and tendered projects for both private and public sector clients encompassing Academic, Healthcare, Housing, MOD, Commercial and Industrial works and have a vast and impressive list of clients for whom they undertake high levels of repeat business.

As a Design Manager, you will be liaising with the site teams, senior management, consultants and architects to effectively manage the design process and be managing the external and internal design teams.

You will attend design team meetings, ensure notes are taken, actions are agreed and distributed to the relevant functions, and will also support the Net Zero requirements / DREEAM / Digital Strategy / MMC to help ensure all the key design deliverables are tracked and compliant with Building Standard. You will also be responsible for managing our designers (consultant and subcontract) to provide adequate, complete and compliant information to meet the design programme and to pass client approval gateways.

Suitable candidates should have a solid Tier 1 Contracting background with experience of performing a Design management role on sensitive project(s) of a similar size and complexity. You'll need a good eye for detail, the confidence to challenge drawn information to improve detailing, buildability to create efficiencies and you should have NEC contract experience with knowledge of design specific software packages.

Due to the sensitive nature of this project, the client will need to process background checks/a DBS with a view to gaining full security clearance.

Subject to clearance, this could be a reasonably quick start for a minimum 12 month duration though the project has up to 2 years left to run so there is potential for longevity.

To register your interest in this opportunity, please forward your CV across today!
