Join a high-performing, fast-growing contractor delivering complex, high-value (£100m+) mission-critical projects across the UK and Europe. This is a rare opportunity for a driven Design Manager to take ownership of technically challenging builds in the data centre, pharmaceutical, and advanced logistics sectors - while stepping into a clear and supported path towards Senior Management and ultimately Director level. You'll be part of a dynamic, forward-thinking team trusted by blue-chip clients and known for quality, innovation, and rapid career development.

Working alongside the project team, consultants, and subcontractors, you'll manage the flow of design information and ensure alignment with programme, budget, and quality expectations.

The role will suit candidates with a background in MEP or Build (CSA) who are confident in navigating the technical design process, BIM coordination, and working in a fast-paced delivery environment. This is an office-based role in Leeds, supporting a long-term scheme for a major confidential retail client. Applicants must be commutable to the Buckinghamshire office and have relevant UK project experience.

Managing and coordinating the full design process, aligning with client and construction requirements
