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.
