Assistant Design Coordinator

Assistant Design Coordinator - Off-Site / Modular Construction | Huddersfield Area | £34,000-£38,000
The role
Our client, a leading UK manufacturer of off-site engineered buildings, is looking for an Assistant Design Coordinator to join its design team, based near Huddersfield (Kirklees, West Yorkshire). The role is within easy reach of Wakefield, Dewsbury, Halifax, Leeds and Bradford.
It would suit an Architectural Technician, Architectural Technologist, BIM Technician or junior Design Coordinator who wants to move into design coordination and project delivery.
You'll work alongside the Head of Design to coordinate architectural, structural and MEP information, liaising with consultants, subcontractors, manufacturing teams and site teams. Because the company manufactures what it designs, you'll get close exposure to buildability and the practical consequences of design decisions.
Projects span healthcare, defence, nuclear, infrastructure, industrial and site accommodation.
Key responsibilities

Coordinate architectural, structural and MEP design information
Review drawings, models and specifications from consultants and subcontractors
Identify missing or conflicting information and drive issues to resolution
Raise and manage RFIs and design queries
Maintain design trackers, programmes and information schedules
Attend design meetings and own agreed actions through to completion
Support the handover of design information into manufacture
Produce or amend drawings and models where needed (this isn't primarily a drafting role)
Support tender and pre-construction work, with occasional site visits
