Job Description

Senior Design Manager | Fit out, Structural Refurbishment & Cut & Carve | Central London 
                                                                                                                                                       
I'm working directly with a well-established London contractor who are looking to strengthen their Design Management team with the appointment of a Senior Design Manager.
 
This role would suit someone from either a Structural Engineering or Architectural background who enjoys complex refurbishment and structural alteration projects rather than straightforward new build schemes.
 
Initially, you'll be office-based supporting pre-construction activities, tenders and bid submissions. Upon project award, you'll transition onto site to lead the design process through delivery.
 
The Role

Leading design management activities across commercial refurbishment and cut & carve projects
 • Supporting tenders, bid submissions and client interviews
 • Managing consultant teams, specialist subcontractors and technical design development
 • Reviewing drawings, technical information and design deliverables
 • Driving design coordination, buildability reviews and statutory compliance
 • Supporting commercial teams with value engineering and change management
 • Chairing design meetings and managing stakeholder communication
 • Working closely with project delivery teams from pre-construction through to completion 
Project Exposure
Current and recent projects include:

£70m flagship commercial refurbishment combining major structural alterations with Cat A and Cat B fit-out
 • £25m, 42,000 sq ft West End commercial refurbishment for a major institutional client
 • Heavy structural reconfiguration projects involving façade removal, column strengthening, slab alterations, basement works and complex temporary works requirements
 • Cat A and Cat B commercial fit-outs ranging from £2m–£60m+ 
What they're looking for

Design Manager, Structural Design Manager, Structural Engineer or Technical Manager background
 • Strong understanding of structural engineering and building construction
 • Experience working on refurbishment, cut & carve or structural alteration projects
 • Degree qualified in Structural Engineering or Architecture
 • Strong technical, organisational and communication skills
 • Comfortable presenting to clients and supporting work-winning activities
 • Confident managing consultant teams and technical design development
 • Someone who enjoys ownership, responsibility and client interaction 
The Business

Established London contractor
 • Specialists in complex commercial refurbishment and fit-out projects
 • Strong reputation for delivering technically challenging schemes
 • Projects typically ranging from £2m–£60m+
 • Long-standing client relationships with institutional and blue-chip occupiers
 • Office-based culture with close collaboration between teams
 • Flexible working considered but office and site presence expected
