This is an excellent opportunity to be their first Design Manager hire, allowing you to shape and define their design process.

  • Leading the design process by overseeing all design aspects of projects from inception through to completion, ensuring that designs meet both client expectations and regulatory requirements.
  • Coordinating with project teams, including architects, engineers, and subcontractors, to ensure designs are feasible, buildable, and align with the project scope and budget.
  • Managing design approvals, ensuring timely review and approval of design documents, managing any changes, and ensuring they are communicated and incorporated effectively.
  • Identifying potential design risks early in the project and developing strategies to mitigate them, ensuring projects stay on track.
  • Working with the commercial team to identify opportunities for cost savings without compromising on quality or design integrity through value engineering.
  • Implementing and maintaining robust quality control processes throughout the design phase to ensure high standards are met consistently.
