All-round Designer

This is a role for a designer who enjoys the technical side of design just as much as the creative.

You’ll be joining a growing Design & Build team where you won’t just be producing drawings in isolation - you’ll be involved from early test fits and layouts through to detailed packs and on-site delivery. It’s a hands-on position, ideal for someone who wants to take real ownership of projects and develop into a well-rounded D&B designer.

While there’s a creative element, the focus here leans more technical - so confidence in producing detailed information and understanding how designs are actually built is key.
  
What you’ll be doing

• Producing test fits, layouts and design concepts aligned to budget
• Developing full technical drawing packages (GA’s, RCPs, finishes, power & data, elevations, sections)
• Cross-referencing subcontractor information and coordinating design details
• Working directly with clients — presenting ideas, running meetings and managing feedback
• Attending site surveys, pre-start meetings and supporting delivery on site
• Liaising with subcontractors, consultants and internal teams across pre-con and construction
• Reviewing designs on site and suggesting practical improvements

What they’re looking for

• Strong AutoCAD skills with experience producing detailed technical packs
• A good design eye, with the ability to translate concepts into buildable solutions
• Solid understanding of commercial workplace design and building regulations
• Confident, client-facing and comfortable presenting your work
• Experience being on site and working alongside delivery teams
• Detail-oriented, organised and able to manage multiple deadlines

  
Bonus experience (not essential)

• SketchUp
• Exposure to planning applications
• Understanding of Principal Designer responsibilities / higher-risk buildings
• Basic MEP awareness

The type of person who does well here

• Practical, solutions-focused and commercially aware
• Takes ownership and accountability for their work
• Comfortable working independently but also part of a wider team
• Approachable, professional and confident dealing with clients and contractors
• Keen to learn and develop within a fast-paced D&B environment

Why consider it

• Strong pipeline of workplace projects
• Exposure across the full project lifecycle
• Supportive, collaborative team environment
• Ongoing training and development
• Regular team socials and events
• Benefits package including enhanced leave, pension and healthcare support

  
If you’re currently in a more creative or purely technical role and want to become a true all-round D&B designer, this is the kind of environment that will get you there.
