• Construction Collaboration: Oversee design during construction, manage changes, and ensure timely delivery in line with schedules and budgets.
• Quality Assurance: Conduct audits, secure client approvals, and maintain consistency between design intent and construction outcomes.

The ideal candidate will have a strong technical foundation and a proactive approach to solving complex design challenges. Requirements include:

• Experience: At least 2+ years in a technical design role, focusing on roofing, waterproofing, or façade/ cladding projects with a Main Contractor.
• Education: HNC/Degree in Construction or an Architectural-related subject.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in AutoCAD and awareness of BIM in construction.
• Competencies: Detail-oriented, excellent problem-solving skills, and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

• Flexible working arrangements (office, home, and site visits).
• A generous benefits package, including private healthcare, a company pension, and 25 days of annual leave (with options to buy or sell).
• Opportunities for personal and professional growth through a tailored development program.
• The chance to collaborate with industry experts on challenging and rewarding waterproofing projects.
