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 perks 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 spot design risk early and raise it before it's priced

You're organised,



dependable and committed to delivering coordinated documentation on time
A values-led team built on Care, Dependability, Excellence and Courage
Variety across new builds, commercial fitouts and refurbishments
A key role at the centre of every project, working closely with Pre-construction, Estimating and site teams
