• Review external wall designs, drawings and technical information
• Identify compliance, fire safety and Building Regulations issues

• Manage design comments, dependencies, information releases and programme requirements
• Attend sites where surveys, as-built information or dimensional checks are required
• Help resolve incomplete site information before materials are ordered
• Work across multiple projects while keeping design activity aligned with procurement and delivery
• Support strong design control, technical coordination and buildability across live projects

What We Are Looking For

• Direct involvement with the Building Safety Regulator
• Experience with BSR Gateway submissions and/or regulator RFIs
• Strong façade, re-cladding or external wall project experience
• High-rise residential or higher-risk building experience
• Ability to review drawings and identify technical or compliance issues
• Experience coordinating designers, consultants and technical information
• Strong understanding of design control, surveys, dimensions and buildability
• Comfortable managing several design programmes at the same time
• Strong communication skills with internal teams, consultants and project stakeholders

Relevant Experience

Experience in any of the following areas would be highly relevant:

• Rainscreen systems
• Insulation and fire barriers
• External wall remediation
• Façade compliance and fire safety coordination
• Occupied-building or live-site remediation projects
• Technical design management within building envelope, remediation or construction

What Is On Offer

• Salary guide of £65,000 - £75,000+ negotiable
• Hybrid working
• Bonus potential
• Annual leave plus bank holidays
• Long-term opportunity within a specialist project environment
• Senior role with real technical and design coordination responsibility

This role would suit a Design Manager, Technical Design Manager, Façade Design Manager, Senior Design Manager or technically strong façade professional with proven BSR experience.
