Job Description

Step into Design Management and Lead Iconic Architectural Projects - Exclusive to Grõ Careers:


Are you an ambitious architect ready to transition into Design Management? This unique opportunity allows you to apply your architectural expertise in a strategic role, leading the design process for world-class projects while partnering closely with a renowned architecture team. Step away from day-to-day design tasks and take on the responsibility of ensuring the success of landmark projects.


Why This Role is Exceptional:

In this role, you will be integral to the management of high-profile, design-driven projects. Your focus will be on steering the design process, ensuring clarity and coordination, while enabling the architecture team to focus on creativity. It’s your chance to oversee projects that leave a lasting imprint on the architectural world.


What You’ll Do:

  • Lead the Design Process: Coordinate and manage external consultants, working closely with the architecture team to ensure every element aligns with the project’s goals.
  • Strategic Programme Management: Create, update, and monitor detailed design programmes, ensuring all project deliverables and milestones are met on time.
  • Contracts and Appointments: Assist in drafting comprehensive appointment documents, clarifying roles and responsibilities, and appointing specialist consultants for unique design elements.
  • Reporting and Monitoring: Provide regular reports on project progress, from key milestones to potential risks, ensuring the architecture team and stakeholders are fully informed at every stage.
  • Change and Risk Management: Oversee the change control process, handling design variations, consultant queries, and ensuring compliance.


Ideal Experience:

  • Leadership and Coordination: Experience managing large teams of external consultants, ensuring project goals are met with precision.
  • Programme Management: Expertise in developing and managing design programmes, tracking progress and adapting plans to meet evolving project needs.
  • Contractual Understanding: A deep knowledge of contract administration, including managing scope, appointing sub-consultants, and handling variations.
  • High-Value Project Exposure: Background in managing complex, high-pressure projects, with values in excess of £20-£40 million. International project experience highly desirable.
  • Team Leadership: Experience in leading small teams, managing resources, delegating responsibilities, and driving progress on key deliverables.


What You’ll Gain:

  • Architectural Collaboration: You’ll work alongside a renowned architecture team, managing some of the most prestigious design projects globally.
  • Strategic Mentorship: Learn from industry leaders who will guide you through the intricacies of design management.
  • Career Growth: This role offers clear paths and deliverables for progression, building your expertise in the strategic and commercial elements of project management.
  • Competitive Package: You’ll receive a highly competitive benefits package, reflective of your impact on high-profile projects.


Your Next Career Move.

If you’re ready to step away from hands-on design and lead the management of iconic architectural projects, this is the opportunity to elevate your career. Submit your CV to Reece at Grõ Careers today and embark on your journey into Design Management.
