Providing various external façade services to many of the market leading European and UK based contractors working in the construction sector, this contractor has a team of designers, surveyors, project managers & fitters with extensive construction experience sector. This is an exciting time to join their Design ranks, with restructuring over recent years seeing them build out this side of the business with expansion into an English office, and support function in India. This has streamlined operations, meaning their Design Manager has greater freedom to focus on technical delivery and operation oversight from a design perspective. There will be sporadic travel expectations (likely once every 6 weeks), but this isn’t extensive.

Liaising with the Estimating Department, you’ll ensure drawings are in accordance with the contractual obligations of project and tender from a compliance perspective. You’ll develop relations and rapport with Clients site management and installation teams. Generally, you’ll oversee and coordinate the collection of data and make sure this information is incorporated into drawings, technical submittals and schematics. Consulting with Architects, Engineers, Surveyors and site teams, you’ll act as an operational lynchpin. Wider duties & responsibilities are available upon request / following application. 
What you'll need to succeed 
You’ll have a minimum of 5 years experience working in a Design function, ideally within the glazing / facades sector, with a demonstrable background in successfully delivering Curtain-walling, Structural Glazing, Windows, Doors & rainscreen cladding packages on £multi-million construction projects. You should posses broad knowledge of the overall construction process (along with current construction techniques, design methodologies and awareness of challenges / constraints of interrelated design disciplines such as architectural / structural / mechanical & electrical / fire and acoustics). You should be comfortable in the site-facing side of a Design Managers position, as well proficiency in either the creation of detailed 2D AutoCAD drawings, or the ability to manage a team creating such & rectify / troubleshoot mistakes. 
What you'll get in return 
Offering a competitive package, you will have the chance to work for a specialist contractor who have a consistent track record of delivering high quality and bespoke projects to their client base. With a growing team and a welcoming atmosphere, you will benefit from continued training and development as well as playing a key role within the business.
