CambridgeHOK is one of the UKs leading horticultural construction contractors and design experts. With 4 specialist divisions comprising industrial glasshouses and greenhouses, vertical farms, horticultural construction and energy, their market offering is market leading.

The role includes evaluation of client specifications, internal and client design reviews, supervision of project document control, design change management, liaison with site teams and independent regulatory authorities as required.


Although the role is based in the UK (Newport), some projects are likely to be sited in Holland and there will therefore be a requirement for regular international travel.

  • Ensure comprehensive design packages are handed over to the Operations Team.
  • Ensure that design risk assessments are in place, signed before designs are issued.
  • Undertake quality and snagging visits on site, checking workmanship and installations against design.
  • Attend project meetings internally, on site and with clients as required.
  • Assist in the resolution of problems and issues on site as they occur.
  • Ensure project documentation is completed to programme (e.g. Operation & Maintenance manual, warranties, certificates, “as built” drawings, etc)
  • Any other reasonable tasks as required.
