  • Tracking design and work progress, updating the program as needed.
  • Ensuring design management adheres to relevant quality standards.
  • Fulfilling Principal Designer responsibilities for pre-construction activities in compliance with CDM Regulations.
  • Providing necessary design input for tender submissions.
  • Engaging with clients, designers, subcontractors, suppliers, and other stakeholders as required.
  • Offering technical guidance and support for live projects and tenders.
  • Contributing to various project programs, including tender, design, construction, and variations.
  • Coordinating the design of temporary works and related elements.
  • Reviewing design drawings and addressing technical queries as needed.
  • Incorporating construction methodology into the program where applicable.
  • Managing information flow from the design team and informing the project team of any impacts on progress.
