This is a newly-created Design Manager opportunity for an international main contractor. This position has been created as a result of an increase in pipeline across residential, commercial, and hospitality sectors. The role will be largely London based but some WFH can be arranged. This position will offer the successful applicant the chance to take on a broad role with a high degree of responsibility on large scale projects.

Client Details

Our client is a well-established, international main contractor. They operate in a wide range of sectors across the UK and Europe. Their South business in the UK has a strong track record within the residential market and expertise within commercial, hospitality, and healthcare schemes.

The Design Team benefits from a relatively flat structure which affords Design Managers the opportunity to gain significant exposure and decision making input on large scale projects. Generally, roles will be site based but some WFH can be negotiated.
