We are looking for a Design Manager to join a contractor based near Southampton to join their growing pre-construction team.
The company works across the Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, and Dorset regions and has a highly successful track record on a range of schemes in the education, commercial, retail, and industrial marketplaces. Recently, they have been awarded opportunities to work on local government frameworks and larger strategic 5-year agreements, as well as repeat business with established clients.
Typical projects range from £5 to £25 million in value, involving both 2-stage negotiated and competitive single-stage bids.
The role involves working on bids and tenders, managing information on live schemes, and providing unique insights from tender to build phase and client handover.
Pre-construction duties include collaborating with the bid team, estimating teams, building services, and design managers to create and submit the best bids possible. This is based on a forensic analysis of the design process of each package, working with internal teams, specialist consultants, engineers, and the supply chain to overcome issues and suggest innovative design solutions. You will have the opportunity to work with experienced individuals who can help train and develop your skills.
Upon contract award, you will be responsible for drawings and information control with site teams, subcontractors, and clients. You will be expected to spend time on-site to ensure compliance with BIM and CDM requirements and collaborate with commercial teams on RFIs, variations, etc., taking responsibility for the design elements of the project as it progresses through the program.
They are currently working on several new bids, 2nd stage opportunities, and 3 live projects in the Dorset/Hampshire area, all of which you can get involved with.
This is a fantastic opportunity to engage in every aspect of a construction business and the lifecycle of a project. The contractor has an excellent training program, making this role suitable for someone looking to advance from a trainee or assistant level or for an experienced coordinator aiming for growth and promotion in the medium term.
Candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK.
