Contract:

Outside IR35

We are seeking an experienced Design Coordinator to join a leading engineering consultancy supporting a major HS2 programme during the construction phase.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands‑on with technical delivery and design coordination. Rather than a purely managerial role, you'll be actively involved in coordinating multidisciplinary design packages, working closely with engineering and construction teams to ensure designs are delivered to the highest standards.

• Coordinating multidisciplinary design teams to deliver construction‑phase design packages.
• Managing the production of drawings, specifications, reports and technical documentation.
• Ensuring designs comply with relevant engineering standards, legislation and project requirements.
• Working closely with construction teams to ensure designs are practical, buildable and deliver value for money.
• Preparing and reviewing engineering calculations and technical deliverables.
• Maintaining hazard and risk registers for allocated design packages.
• Supporting design reviews and ensuring consistency and quality across project deliverables.
• Liaising with internal stakeholders, contractors and third parties throughout the design process.
• Monitoring programme, budget and technical performance of allocated work packages.
• Assisting the Design and Engineering Managers with project delivery and reporting.
• Ensuring compliance with health, safety and environmental legislation, including CDM Regulations.
• Supporting continuous improvement of quality and integrated management systems.

We're looking for someone who enjoys coordinating technical detail, communicating across multidisciplinary teams and driving design delivery.

You’ll ideally have:

• A degree in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, Architecture or a related discipline.
• Previous experience coordinating design on major infrastructure, rail or civil engineering projects.
• Strong understanding of multidisciplinary design coordination and construction‑phase support.
• Experience producing or reviewing technical design deliverables.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• A proactive approach with strong organisational and problem‑solving abilities.

The following would be advantageous:

• Chartered status (ICE, CIOB, RIBA or equivalent).
• Membership of a relevant professional institution.
• Experience working on large‑scale infrastructure or rail projects.

• Opportunity to work on one of the UK's largest infrastructure programmes.
• Hybrid working based in Birmingham.
• Outside IR35 contract.
• Collaborative, multidisciplinary project environment.
• Long‑term opportunity with a leading engineering consultancy.
