We are recruiting for a Design Manager to join a Tier 1 contractor to work on a number of schemes in the Surrey, Crawley, Reigate and South West London areas. The company is one of the most successful privately owned profitable contractors in the country, with Southern operations based from their office near Reading and a turnover in excess of 1 billion a year.
Schemes in the pipeline include 30 million DFE school schemes, Spec Office developments, and several Hi-Rise student schemes.
The company targets schemes between 30 and 90 million on frameworks and repeat business opportunities with long-term clients. They will also identify and target single-stage regeneration and development schemes up to 150 million. Typical schemes include large schools, multi-phased education schemes, student accommodation, PRS developments, high-rise office and residential schemes, distribution hubs, and large multi-use retail and leisure developments - a wide and diverse range of projects to work on.
The role includes early involvement at the tender and bid stage, working with the estimating and commercial teams to carry out a detailed and forensic investigation into the scheme and work on key packages to explore and identify both opportunities and potential issues with critical pathways. You will carry out value engineering exercises where needed and use your skills and expertise to create detailed input for the tender and bid packages. You will be responsible for the information flow between clients, consultants, subcontractors, and your own internal teams, and take the lead on the framework schemes.
You will be responsible for taking the scheme from tender, bid, contract award, and finally onto site for the construction phase. You will manage and implement the design on site with the project manager and site delivery teams and subcontractors, overseeing RFIs, change processes, CDM regulations, and the handover, commissioning, and production of O&M manuals.
Ideal candidates will have worked for a tier 1 or larger regional contractor on schemes above 10 million and have experience with both D&B projects and framework negotiations. You should be able to demonstrate excellent work practices, attention to detail, organizational skills, and the ability to identify opportunities and potential issues.
The company is looking for experienced Design Managers as well as senior staff as part of their controlled growth and development, and now is a brilliant time to join the business. They offer a competitive salary and package, hybrid working options, full training and bespoke development packages, with unlimited opportunities for advancement. The company regularly recognizes, rewards, and promotes the best internal talent.
