DESIGN MANAGER

£70k-£80k plus benefits

Permanent

Central London, London

An established engineering contractor is seeking an experienced Design Manager to take ownership of design delivery across major and complex construction projects in London. This is an excellent opportunity for a senior design professional to lead multidisciplinary teams, drive design strategy and play a key role in the successful delivery of technically challenging projects.

The successful candidate will have overall responsibility for managing and coordinating the design process from initial development through to construction and completion. Working closely with project directors, consultants, engineering teams and specialist subcontractors, you will ensure designs are delivered in line with programme, budget, quality and technical requirements.

Responsibilities will include leading design teams and external consultants, managing design programmes and technical submissions, overseeing design reviews and resolving complex engineering issues. You will also drive design assurance, value engineering and cost optimisation, ensuring solutions are practical, compliant and deliverable.

Candidates should hold a degree in Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering or a related discipline and have extensive experience in design management or senior engineering leadership within complex construction, heavy civil engineering, structural/CSA or industrial projects. Experience delivering major data centre or industrial developments would be particularly advantageous.

A strong technical understanding of civil and structural engineering design is essential, alongside excellent leadership, communication and stakeholder management skills. Experience with AutoCAD and surveying technologies, including GPS and Total Station equipment, would be beneficial. Fluency in English is essential, with additional European languages an advantage.

This is an excellent opportunity to take on a key leadership position within an established contractor, overseeing major project design delivery and making a real impact on project success.
