At Melrose Built, our Design Managers turn design into something we can build: coordinated, compliant and on budget. We’re looking for an experienced Design Manager to lead the design process across our new builds, commercial fitouts and refurbishments.

What You Will Be Doing

- Leading the design process from feasibility and concept through to construction documentation and handover
- Managing multi-disciplinary consultant teams, including architects, engineers and technical specialists, and keeping them to program, scope and quality
- Reviewing tender packages for design and authority risk, and supporting Estimating and Pre-construction through tender and ECI phases
- Running design reviews and clash detection workshops, and championing BIM coordination
- Making sure designs are buildable, and driving value engineering that measurably benefits the project
- Coordinating planning and building approvals with certifiers and authorities
- Acting as the single point of contact for design communication, and managing the design change process

About You

- You balance design intent, compliance, constructability and cost
- You spot design risk early and raise it before it’s priced
- You’re a clear communicator, in writing and in person, who can hold consultants to a high standard
- You’re organised,



dependable and committed to delivering coordinated documentation on time
