Applications are welcomed from both permanent and contract Design Managers

We’re working with a specialist contractor based in East London delivering complex retrofit and façade remediation projects across London. They’re looking to appoint a Design & Build Technical Manager to take ownership of technical coordination across multiple live and upcoming schemes.

• Coordinate design consultants, specialist subcontractors, and temporary works designers
• Review drawings for buildability, compliance, sequencing, and cost efficiency
• Oversee technical approvals: materials, warranty bodies, fire regulations, and structural interfaces
• Liaise closely with site, commercial, and delivery teams to ensure smooth handover
• Support value engineering and programme improvements

• Background in retrofit, cladding, façade remediation, or similar D&B project types
• Proven experience within a contractor environment in a technical or design manager role
• Strong working knowledge of Building Regulations, NHBC, and temporary works
• Ability to manage technical queries, resolve design issues, and ensure compliance

This is a great opportunity to join a growing contractor with a strong delivery pipeline and a clear focus on quality and safety. If you’re looking to take the lead on technically complex projects and work in a dynamic team, apply now for more information
