Job Title: Senior Design Manager
Location: London
Type: Permanent
Salary: Up to £90,000 + Package


We are working with a growing main contractor delivering commercial, fit-out, refurbishment and residential projects across London. As part of their continued growth, my client is looking to bring in a Senior Design Manager on a permanent basis.


This would suit an experienced Senior Design Manager or a confident Design Manager ready to step up. The team are keen to support the right person with ongoing development and progression. You'll be hands-on, not just managing others - this is a role for someone who wants to be at the heart of delivery and involved in the day-to-day coordination of live jobs.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead the design process across multiple projects (size dependent)
  • Manage consultant coordination and technical reviews
  • Get involved with pre-construction and design development
  • Oversee day-to-day design issues, resolving clashes and providing support to delivery teams
  • Liaise with subcontractors, pushing back where necessary and holding accountability
  • Support the tender process and design input at bid stage
  • Ensure design is delivered in line with programme and project constraints


What We're Looking For:

  • Design Manager or Senior Design Manager experience, ideally for a main contractor
  • Exposure to a range of project types: commercial, residential, fit-out or refurbishment would be desirable
  • Comfortable working autonomously and getting stuck into the detail
  • Confident communicator with strong coordination skills
  • Able to hold your own with clients, consultants and subcontractors
  • Proactive, self-motivated and delivery-focused


What's On Offer:

  • Salary up to £90,000 (depending on experience)
  • Full benefits package
  • Support and progression into a more senior role if stepping up
  • Opportunity to work on diverse, high-quality projects
  • A growing business with a strong project pipeline
  • Collaborative team environment where initiative is encouraged
