Job Title: Design Manager
Location: London
Salary: £70,000 - £85,000 per year + Quarterly Bonus
Benefits: 25 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays | Family-Feel Culture | Long-Term Growth Path


Why Join?
Are you ready to take ownership of the design management process on major re-cladding projects in London? This is a rare opportunity to step into a pivotal role with a well-established main contractor that's been a trusted name in the façade and envelope industry for over 50 years.

As Design Manager, you'll play a central part in managing and improving how design processes are delivered across re-cladding schemes. You'll be joining at an exciting stage of growth, with the opportunity to shape a department, create new procedures, and influence the way projects are delivered from a technical and compliance perspective.

As a Design Manager you'll be working from 7:30am - 5:00pm, primarily site-based with some time spent in the office. This role offers hands-on project exposure and the chance to grow with a stable, values-driven business that continues to invest in its people and its future.


Your Role as a Design Manager will include:

  • Overseeing and managing the façade design process for remedial re-cladding works (no design creation involved)
  • Reviewing and checking drawings for compliance, buildability, and accuracy
  • Liaising with sub-contractors, consultants, and internal teams to ensure seamless delivery
  • Finding alternative technical solutions when required


The Successful Design Manager Will Need:

  • Proven background in façade or cladding design management within the UK contracting environment
  • Experience managing the design process on refurbishment or re-cladding projects
  • Ability to coordinate between consultants, site teams, and subcontractors
  • Comfortable working from site and dealing with live project environments
  • Strong understanding of AutoCAD and design documentation
