*Structural Design Manager - Central London*
Our client, a well-established main contractor with an excellent reputation for delivering complex commercial refurbishment and cut & carve projects across Central London, is looking to appoint an experienced Design Manager with a structural engineering bias to join their growing team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a technically competent Design Manager looking to work on high-profile commercial schemes involving major structural alterations, heavy refurbishment and high-specification fit out projects within challenging city-centre environments.
Reporting directly to the Principal Design Manager, you will play a key role in managing and coordinating the design process from pre-construction through to project completion across multiple commercial projects.
Key responsibilities include:
* Managing and coordinating the full design process across multiple commercial schemes
* Reviewing structural, architectural and consultant design information
* Leading consultant coordination meetings and driving design team performance
* Identifying and resolving buildability, sequencing and technical challenges
* Managing design programmes and information release schedules
* Liaising closely with clients, consultants, subcontractors and site teams
* Ensuring compliance with current UK Building Regulations and statutory requirements
This role would either suit an established Design Manager from a main contractor background with previous experience delivering commercial refurbishment and cut & carve projects, or a jobrunning Structural Engineer with commercial project delivery experience.
This is an opportunity to join a highly respected contractor with a strong pipeline of secured Central London projects. A competitive salary plus an excellent benefits package is on offer.
