Your responsibilities will include managing projects, contracts and budgets, preparing specifications, liaising with clients, developing and coordinating multidisciplinary teams, driving the design process to ensure project deliverables meet client needs, and championing technical innovation (including uptake of the latest methodologies and tools). You will provide insight for business development, lead or support tender submissions, build relationships with clients and wider stakeholders, and ensure safety-in-design and Designer's responsibilities under CDM are upheld. You will also support initiatives across buildability, carbon reduction, sustainability, social value and digital transformation.
