Principle Designer

A well-established national construction consultancy is seeking a Principal Designer to join their established, experienced CDM/PD team.

With over 250 employees nationally and around 80 technical professionals, the practice retains a traditional, quality-driven approach and offers a stable, long-term career for the right Principal Designer.

They are looking for a Principal Designer who can bring maturity, technical competence, and a steady hand to the role - someone who keen to progress, and deliver within a settled working environment with interesting project exposure.

The Principal Designer will work on a mix of internal and external projects, undertaking full CDM duties including pre-construction information, construction phase plan reviews, health and safety file coordination, and CDM advisor site visits. Collaboration with both internal design teams and external consultants will be required, with business travel reimbursed accordingly.

This is a role best suited to a Principal Designer who enjoys autonomy and has the confidence to manage duties independently while supporting junior team members. The team recently recruited a less experienced colleague, so a more senior presence is essential.

The ideal Principal Designer will have:

• Ideally 5-10 years'' experience in a similar Principal Designer or CDM-focused role
• A background in construction site safety or a health and safety role with a strong construction bias
• NEBOSH Construction Certificate (or equivalent), IMaPS / CMaPS or similar
• A steady employment history - not someone who frequently changes roles
• Confidence in producing, reviewing and advising on CDM documentation

In Return?

• -45,000 - -55,000
• Discretionary performance bonus
• Chartership support
• Enhanced pension contributions
• 26 days holiday + bank holidays
• Hybrid working
• Private healthcare
