The demand for energy efficient and cost effective preconstruction services has never been greater.

Reporting directly to the Technical Director, you will lead a team of Technical Services Managers, Design Engineers and Revit Technicians, managing both internal and external design resources.

  * Ensure designs comply with current regulations, standards and client requirements.

  * Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineering and BIM personnel.

  * Support project teams through technical problem solving and design coordination.

  * Contribute to commercial awareness within project delivery, although the primary focus of the role will be technical leadership and design management.

  * Strong Mechanical or Electrical Building Services design background.

  * Experience managing design teams and coordinating multiple project workloads.

  * Demonstrable ability to review and validate engineering designs.
