Senior Building Regulations Designer

Resi is the UK's number one home extension company transforming how homeowners design, plan and build. With over 10,000 projects nationwide and a 95% planning approval rate, we make architecture accessible and transparent through a digital platform that brings design, planning and build support together.

We are hiring for a technically strong, Revit-proficient designer to join our team in Oval on a full-time permanent basis as a Senior Building Regulations Designer.

Are you fed up with feeling like you don't have the right support to take your career to the next level? Or you don't get to see enough projects, and spend more time doing admin than advising clients? Do you agree that technology can be utilised to help you and your clients to achieve the best results for their home? Do you want to be at the forefront of new construction methods, like SIPs, or ensuring your customer's homes are the healthiest they can possibly be by specifying Retrofit measures?

Then this could be the role for you.
