Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom ISG Full time

Job Purpose

As a Graduate Design Manager at ISG, you will lead on all design matters relating to the project, ensuring that all disciplines in the external and internal teams are working together. This includes identifying consultants and design subcontractors, creating a design programme, and managing progress throughout the design phase. You will review the design for quality and compliance with the contract, ensuring it is delivered on time and on budget.

Key Responsibilities

As a Graduate Design Manager, you will work in the office during the tender and PCSA stages and then on site, shadowing the Design team to gain a better understanding of the role. You will be allocated tasks, attend meetings with subcontractors, and internal and external stakeholders, allowing you to further your knowledge and expand your network. Your responsibilities will include reviewing consultant designs, attending design team meetings, ordering samples for client review, collating submissions for planning conditions, responding to RFIs, and supporting internal teams.

The Graduate Programme

Our two-year programme will consist of rotations covering areas such as pre-construction, winning work, planning, design, technical building services, construction management, and commercial management. You will take on real responsibility, working on live projects, learning from our experts, and putting your skills to the test on key tasks. The programme will help you build a wider understanding of the construction industry and how your preferred specialism fits into the bigger picture of what we do here. You will have the opportunity to gain exposure into additional areas like Health & Safety and sustainability, and you will have support from a supervisor and a taught programme of learning.

Candidate Profile and Entry Criteria

To be successful in this role, you will have a minimum 2:2 degree and a passion for the construction industry. You will be able to use your own initiative, have good time-keeping skills, and be willing to get stuck in. You will also need to be enthusiastic, willing to listen and learn, and able to work as a team. You will have the ability to communicate clearly and effectively with staff at all levels and be able to travel when required.
