Technical Coordinator

Technical Coordinator

Ilkley Brickwork | Design-Led Construction

Location: Bradford HQ (Hybrid- Office and site)

Salary: £32,000 – £36,000 per annum + CPD support

Reports to: Operations Lead

Works closely with: Lead Designer, Site Team, Structural Engineers, Design Team

The Role

You’ve built your 10,000 hours. Now you’re looking for a role where you can step up, take real responsibility, and help deliver outstanding residential construction work — safely, efficiently, and without surprises.

As Technical Coordinator, your role is to turn vision into execution. Working across structural, planning, and interior design, you’ll ensure that everything a project needs to be built right — from sequencing to safety — is thought through before it hits site.

You’ll also play a vital role in protecting the customer experience. Construction can be overwhelming, full of technical disagreements, back-and-forth, and unclear language. Your job is to shield the customer from that stress — making sure their project flows clearly, cleanly, and confidently without them being pulled into unnecessary technical friction.

This is not a caretaker role. This is a builder’s role. A systems role. A get-it-done-right role — in service of the customer, the team, and the end result.

Key Responsibilities

Pre-Construction Technical Delivery

• Prepare build-ready packs including:

             - Construction sequencing

             - Structural details and method statements

             - Site-specific installation notes

•  Ensure Building Regs, CDM, and engineering requirements are integrated into every job

Site Readiness & Support

• Conduct technical handovers to the site team
• Support the Operations Lead to deliver on time and budget
• Be the point of contact for on-site technical clarification — especially around structural works, Helifix, lintels, and SIPs

Design & Engineering Alignment

• Work closely with the Lead Designer to protect the integrity of design while ensuring it’s buildable and safe
• Resolve technical conflicts between architectural intent and construction reality
• Ensure planning and engineering constraints are handled proactively — not passed downstream
• Systems & SOP Creation
•  Develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) for repeatable project types such as:

           -  Lintel replacements

           -  Structural openings

           -  Extensions

            - Retaining walls

            - Interior fit-outs

• Note: This list is not exhaustive — your job is to identify, systemise, and improve processes across all common and emerging job types
• Build and maintain an internal technical library: drawings, checklists, sequencing diagrams, material specs, risk points

About You

• 5–7 years in a technical construction role (site, design, or coordination)
• Degree or HNC/HND in Structural Engineering, Architectural Technology, or Construction Management
• Confident reading and producing technical drawings
• Strong working knowledge of Building Regs, sequencing, materials, and structural systems
•  Comfortable communicating with both creatives and trades
•  Proactive, methodical, and ready to own results
• Not a talker. A doer.
• Clear promotion pathway to Senior Technical Coordinator / Technical Manager (£40K+)
• Tools and training budget available as role grows

What Success Looks Like

• Jobs hit site ready to build — no scrambling, no missing details
• The design team feels supported, not slowed down
• The site team feels equipped, not guessing
•  Projects land on time, on budget, and without avoidable issues
•  You’ve helped standardise and improve how we build, not just responded to
• problems
