  • Develop a design programme with the consultants to meet the agreed whole life programme dates
  • Provide cost effective technical solutions
  • Chair design team meetings and issue actions
  • Produce designs that meet all necessary statutory and regulatory approvals and record on appropriate tracking logs

    Essential and Desirable Criteria

    The ideal candidate:

    • Will have managed design on projects between 10 and 40 million pounds across multiple sectors.
    • Blue light project experienced is desired but not essential
    • Have an understanding of CAD, Microsoft Office and various other construction technology
    • Be able to read and interpret drawings and technical specifications
    • Able to mange specialist designers/ subcontractors and supply chain partners
